Seat Cover Review

Does anybody know if the front seat bottom cushions come out somehow (like the back seats do)?
That would make the front seat bottom cover install a heck of a lot easier.

I installed everything else without much problem and it looks good,
but I am stymied by the front seat bottom covers.

Technically they come out. But I think it's a major operation to disassemble the seat so IMHO you really don't want to go there.

I initially struggled with the install as well. But after I figured out how to temporarily remove the OEM cover flap from underneath the rear of the seat the covers installed fairly easily. The only real problem was the securing the velcro strap - they still aren't tight since there is no way to apply tension under the seat but that has not seemed to cause a problem so far.

Since the original pictures were lost I tried to document how to install the front seats - was part of my earlier post unclear?

thank you for the pics and detailed instructions. I got the covers from ebay, they arrived in just a few days. the installation takes a little time, but with the tips from this thread I know it cut the time in half not having to figure out how to get the velcro strap around the sliding rails on the front seats and how to unhook the factory seat covers to get the flaps inbetween the seatback. I'm pretty amazed at how custom-fitted the seats are and how taught they fit. For the money it's a great deal.

After someone asked about seat covers in another thread from which I linked to this one, I figured an update might be in order.

Bottom line: The covers are still doing well. The fit is still good, the color doesn't seem to have faded (tinted windows sure don't hurt), and there is no visible sign of wear. And the attachment workaround for the two front pieces that we described earlier in this thread is holding up just fine.

So with almost two years on them now, I can say with even more confidence that these covers are an excellent value.

Hi,
I am on the market for some reasonable cheap fit car seat covers for my Prius 2005. Since my interior color is tan and already bit dirty, I would try to cover as much as possible (including the front center and door arm rests if possible).
I found this thread, but it seems that meanwhile the covers in discussion got more expensive. Also I am not sure how much of the interior they cover... Any recent experience with these?

Should I go ahead with this ones or keep looking?
Thanks

OK, I'll go with the $69 ones from ebay, made by exactfitseatcover. Thanks Jimbok for the PM response!
