(More customer reviews)I purchased these seat covers to protect the cloth seats in my 2005 Kia Sportage. I liked the two-tone black and tan, which matched my interior, and they were quite a bit cheaper than anything I could find locally. My expectations were not too high, given the price, but after having them on the seats for about a month I am very happy with them.
The covers are a simi-stretchy foam backed material. It seems to be fairly stain and liquid resistant, and so far is very durable. The sides of the covers, on the other hand, are a thin elastic material, like thick panty hoes, and not as durable. I ended up with a run in the side of one cover while trying to tighten the retaining straps. If any part of the cover is going to fail, it will be the sides.
The directions that come with them are almost worthless, and don't cover how to install the inserts if you have a split bench seat in the rear, but if you lay everything out and look at it before starting it is fairly easy. As these are universal seat covers you can't expect them to fit like custom covers would, but over all the fit on the seats was very nice. Each bucket seat cover has an elastic upper half that fits around the backrest and numerous elastic straps that stretch under the bottom and attach with plastic hooks. The top of the bucket seat covers have a Velcro lined opening for the headrest stems. You install the headrests and then close the Velcro around them. The covers for the headrests are the poorest fitting part of the set. They are too big for even the large headrests in my vehicle and were unusable on the somewhat smaller headrests for my back seat.
The backseat cover takes a bit more time to install and requires numererous adjustments as you go. I found it odd that the rear seat backrest cover was not designed like the bucket seat covers with an elastic back for a snug fit. Instead, it uses a dozen or so elastic straps to hold it in place. It has three zippers in it to adjust for split folding seats and two extra sections of fabric to install on either side of the split. By the time you have all the straps attached the rear of the seat looks pretty ugly, but it serves it's purpose of keeping the upholstery clean.
The rear seat bottom installs the same way, with all the elastic straps and clips. I discovered while installing the seat bottom that there were not enough clips. I ended up using small zip ties to finish the installation. Annoying but not a huge deal.
Overall, these are really nice for $25. They look very nice installed and seem to work as advertised. I have gotten complements from everyone who has seen them and I would deffinately recommend them.
