Review on FH Group FB351GRAY102 Seatbelt Compatible by Jason Franco

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad but could be a lot better.

Not as easy to install as the product description suggests! They are NOT generic and do not fit my truck even after I entered all correct truck details into Revain Garage and confirmed they fit my truck model and year. First, manufacturers know that some bucket seats have adjustable armrests, but they don't consider a workaround. They suggest that you remove the armrest with a small screw and reattach it after attaching the seat cover. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to remove the armrest from my seats. So the covers don't quite fit, but the material allows for enough stretch for me to get it to work. The manufacturers then KNOW that these vehicles are equipped with adjustable and removable headrests as well as separate headrest covers. However, it is not possible to route the headrest pillars through the seat cushion. They suggest you cut your own holes after you've installed the seat back padding. The product description says that the material is very forgiving and a small hole may be cut. Be careful WHERE you cut your holes. On my first seat, it seemed like the best place for the holes would be a more stretchy fabric that runs down the back of the seat instead of the front. WRONG place for holes. The stretch fabric on the back is NOT yielding and will stretch like a pair of women's silk stockings. On the second seat I decided to make holes for the headrest on the FRONT and this turned out to be the best place. The real problem is that it would have been so easy for them to put it in the instructions and give a good warning NOT to poke holes in the back fabric, but they didn't. So now I have no idea if the stretch fabric will hold up and withstand the driver's seat, the most used seat in a car. Finally, the attached elastic loops designed to hold the sides of the lower seat section are virtually useless on the driver's side because the electronics in the seat block have no way for them to snag anything." Summary: Benefits: You look good good for inexpensive seat covers once installed Shipping available was free and fast (one day - no PRIME) Side zips make installation much easier than other seat covers I have worked with Cons: Took about to install an hour - even after installing the same markings on a different truck first. There are too many omissions in the production process to consider it ideal.The quality of the fabric could have been a bit stiffer - considering it's a This is a pickup truck and not a luxury sedan The instructions leave a lot to be desired So minimal as to be useless - Why involve them if they won't tell you what you need to know? Comes in a plastic sleeve with two handles and a zip - a waste of money as it gets thrown in the bin and ends up in the landfill. It would be better if they invested in better cases. Installation Note: Some headrests cannot be easily removed. You may need a small tool to poke the tiny hole in the top of the backrest. I used a small 5/64 hex wrench. It's easier in the driver's seat. The passenger seat has a seat belt protrusion so any tool with a 90 degree angle is better than a straight tool.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived
