Any idea where I can get some good seat covers for my new 2009 Patriot Sport? Most I have seen are running $400 or more for a set (front and back).

I have a sport too and I looked at covers but they aren't that straight forward to fit. I saw some that didn't have a back to the front seats and looked really cheap. I miss my leather.

Here is a recent thread, although Elliot never did post a picture of them installed.
Other earlier threads discuss the lack of success in finding an alternative, you could try covercraft.

I had found these sites, but basically it's hard to find front and back set that is under $350. The only one's that say they are for the Patriot are the MOPAR. I asked my dealer if I could get a deal since I bought a Patriot on Monday and then sent in a friend who bought one on Monday night, but so far no response. Wish I had thought of this when making my deal. Arghhhhhhhh
I was hoping to find some for under $200 that would be a complete set.

If you want leather, you can do a swap out. There are always leather seat sets on eBay, not too expensive. Here is a full set of front and back for about $525 including delivery: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-09-Jeep-Patriot-OEM-Tan-Leather-Seat-Set-LKQ_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea71702b5QQitemZ200371798709QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
And the shipping to the UK would be a deal breaker too....
With these, the knobs would be on the wrong side for you. But then, aren't you used to that??? (Sorry, had to say it....just a little dry humor from this side of the pond...)
Actually, I had not noticed you were not in the US. I am not used to so many people from Europe in a vehicle forum. Must be quite the clique of Jeep lovers over there.

If you have the tan interior, here is a set of Katzkin (quality) aftermarket leather seat covers. I have a set of these in one of my other cars, and they are as nice or better than factory. And this set has the suede insert. You will need to hire a local auto upholster dealer to install these. My set cost about $300 to have installed. If you want leather, this is a less expensive way to go:

Hey Guys
Just got my Jeep back from the dealership, took them 3 weeks to source the parts to repair the Patriot. Is looking better after a slight mishap ...
Anyway, got it back and got out the camera to take some pics of the seat covers fitted to a Patriot ... they do look good ...
Front ...

Back ...

Hope they are reasonable to show how good they really look ... I'm just glad I paid ~£55? so using xe.com $35 ?

epper:
Confirmed in other posts (sorry did not go looking for the link) that the middle head rest is a European requirement (not sure if it was the whole EU or just specific countries)
Nice fit Elliott , but sorry I dont like the way the covers hide the head rests . It makes the interior look a bit 1970's old fashioned.I can only guessthat the covers were designed for the non removable headrest North American market??
Heyup, I found them on eBay over here in the UK ... I was looking for a long time and every now and then I search for the Patriot and scroll through all the items online ... somehow found these on there ... at a steal price really ... My local dealer couldnt believe the price.
I was confused at first why the covers didnt cover the middle headrest as well ... I dont find that they block the view that much, if you stick people in the seats then you might as well consider the rear view mirror useless anyway ... the patriot has great mirrors ... I can park it and drive with them ...
Covering the headrests was a little odd at first but I've gotten used to it ... it does make the car feel darker inside ... but comming from an Audi where everything was black it's still a bit lighter ...
Compared to any seats covers I've had in commercial vehicles these things are so comfy, warm and cool, easy to clean ... couldnt imagine my riot without them ...

I have these in my black Patriot. I really like the way it looks with the interior. I am not crazy about the way it looks with this lighter interior. I will take pictures and post. I found mine on craigs list (new - the bought for another jeep but did not fit) and purchased them for $100 I could not be happier.
Ive removed my middle headrest & put it in the boot. This gives mr much clearer rearward vision through my reaview mirror.

The seat covers are secured with velcro on the back side of the seats and can be pulled tighter so they are smoother. I need to straighten mine a bit.
The front seats are secured under the seats by adjustable straps and they pull over the seats like a pillow case.
I can't figure out how to post the pictures. All 4 are in this link. If someone can tell me how to post I will post all 4 here. But when I use the picture button they post as x 's and not a picture.

I bought my Patriot in October 2008 and the driver's seat already has a crack in the vinyl. My dealer has ordered a replacement because the Riot is still under warranty, but it does make me worry about the future of these seats, especially once the warranty is up.
Has anyone else had this issue?
