Looking for some good quality seat covers. Cloth - not the fake leather/pleather/plastic vinyl. In the past got the $25-50 kits and at first they are nice but wear super fast, don't stay attached, and are junk after 6-12 months. If you have bought a nice set that don't cost $500 let me know, I've been looking and on here and when I search with this sites new search feature I am bombed by hundreds of useless eBay advertised posts which again make the search feature on this site useless :cautious:

i found a subaru outback in a junkyard with fake leather seats 3 yrs ago that matched my cloth color. almost perfect shape. just wanted the sear bottom because the backs never get dirty. i paid nothing.
with a little elbow grease the bottoms fit almost perfectly.

Yea well not looking at anything like that.
Search eBay, Amazon, etc and you get like 12,000 results for seat cover kits.
Pictures I have learned are deceiving and most are lightweight and not good quality.

Coverking was actually one of the brands that I found which appears to be of decent quality. How long have you had them, how thick is the material, and how have they been holding up?

And the seats are just stained and gross looking which is why he wants covers, spending $100-200 for covers is a great way to refresh and spruce it up.

You can request free material swatches from the coverking website. So you'll be able to see the material firsthand.

I had mine for 2 years. I got it since a baby was on the way and I wanted to catch the baby's plus the older kid's messes. It's held up great, but keep in mind they don't sit back there daily, they ride in mom's Camry more often.

I'm still satisfied as is though.

Think we will go with those however the cost is a bit high, will wait for the next stimulus check!

This is just an example, but my favorite style are "saddle blanket":
rover.ebay.com

1998-2000 Ford Ranger Front CUSTOM FIT TAN SADDLE BLANKET SEAT COVERS | eBay

The Saddle Blanket is a durable woven material. It is made specifically to protect your original factory seat covers from excessive wear caused by children, dogs, (pets) and from other heavy duty uses.
rover.ebay.com

The trick is to get ones that are 100% saddle blanket, and not only the seating area. Good luck with the find.

The only other seat covers I've seen worth their money are these:

My parents have them in their 04 tahoe that they've had on the seats since the car was new, and they are still nearly perfect. and that car has had some HARD use.
