Seat Cover Rec's

[MJE]

I meant to ask: any issues laying the back seat down with the neoprene covers?

None that I’ve found, though I’ve only put it down a couple times for short distances. I suppose it could add some thickness keeping the seat from pushing down quite as much but I didn’t notice anything amiss when I tried it.

One thing to consider with the rear seat covers is that they will cover up the buttons to which the rubberized seat backs are attached. I managed to get around the issue by cutting small holes over those locations with a hot X-acto blade (to prevent fraying of the nylon back cover) and the rubberized seat backs snapped right in over the neoprene covers without a problem. As a piece of advice, though, if you don't have the rubberized seat back covers and are considering getting the neoprene seat cover, don't bother with the rubberized. The nylon back of the seat covers will cover up the carpeting and looks like it would be just as easy to clean as the rubberized seat backs. Had I know that, I would have forgone getting the rubberized and only used my points on the neoprene (though the rubberized do look nice with that texture design which matches the cargo area).

Fit great! Took my dealer a couple days to install so it was worth getting them to do it. Fit is as perfect as I’ve ever seen a seat cover!

They are tough to put on so when you order one, include the installation.

The instructions are not great, and it appears that for the bench seat they did not actually consider how to put the bench seat back in place once the cover is installed on it. The whole bench seat gets removed and the cover is put over it. There is a slot in some rigid foam on the underside which sits on steel piping in the vehicle. The seat cover has straps which hold it taught once installed on the bench, but those straps go over the slot, preventing the bench seat from being reinstalled. After a bunch of frustration, I eventually had to run the straps under the piping before clipping it back to the clips on the front edge of the seat cover, and then doing my best to tighten them as I lowered the bench into place. It "works" but it really seems like someone dropped the ball. Like the seat cover team didn't talk to the seat installation team at all.
The upright portions were fairly straightforward, though.

How difficult are they to take off & put on?

The upper portions are zippered, and should come off fairly easily, probably take about 5 minutes. That said, seems like you'd have to get them pretty dirty to be beyond cleaning just the seat cover in place.
