Great customer service and great seat covers!

We installed them on our 2020 CRV EX Hybrid. This seller deserves credit for their great customer service! We ordered these seat covers on 06/28/20 and received them on 07/17/20. At first they were a standard order, but then they became a special order. We wanted solid gray instead of grey/black. and that another supplier had a similar item that did not require opening the rear seat armrest. After we requested the cancellation, the seller contacted us with the delivery time. Estimated delivery time is approximately 25 days. They were also happy to change the color from gray with black sides to solid gray. We decided to give it a try and see if the rear seat armrest would be an issue. Since we changed the colors, this has essentially become a new 6/28/20 custom order. We were very pleasantly surprised when the seat covers arrived on 17/07/20, just 19 days after we changed our order! The seat covers make a fairly stable and well-made impression. We just put them on so we haven't ridden them yet. still around with them. They feel comfortable just sitting in it. And they look great! The gray color goes perfectly with the gray Honda interior of our CRV and fits very well. There are a few creases here and there, but they may disappear after the seats have been experimented with for a while, and some may simply be the result of our installation! This is not a problem. Since the rear seat armrest is behind the zip panel, we figured having it behind the zip area wouldn't be a huge issue as we would rarely use the rear seat armrest. Overall they look fantastic and unless you look really closely you won't notice that these are add-ons and not factory leather seats. INSTALLATION: Be sure to read the instructions and, more importantly, watch the video carefully. a few times! It especially helps to note how and when each of the straps and fabrics (especially the narrower ones) enters the space between the seat back and the seat bottom and then connects under or behind the seats! And it REALLY helps when 2 people work on this rig! We did NOT have to remove any seats! FRONT SEATS: Please note that you will need to remove some of the original seat covers to prepare for installation. A plastic panel that slides off the back of the seat and wraps under the seat. There is an elastic strap that secures it under the front seat. Please note that the CRV does not use the hook on the elastic strap that secures the flap under the front seat backrest. The elastic band simply wraps around the components on the underside of the seat. All you have to do is run your fingers along the strap to determine where it's tied, then open it to untie. You will see it in the video. The driver's side was the hardest part, mostly because we did it first and learned a lot during that setup. It was easy on the passenger side. REAR SEATS: The 60% side of the rear seat was a little tricky, but NOTE that you MUST recline the seat back slightly to access the space behind the rear seat (between the seat back and the cargo area). then the space opens up and you can reach in and underneath. No need to try to loosen the wire and spring mechanism that secures the edge of the cargo box base to the seat back. Having TWO people for all of this definitely helps, but especially for the rear seats: one person holds the seatback in a reclined position and the other fiddles with pulling the straps from underneath and through! The 40% side of the back seat was pretty easy. Hybrid passenger seat and 60% rear seat. A piece of rope is attached to the sides of the bottom of the seat where both run between the two sections of the seat. One is a straight piece and the other has a loop. You can thread the straight piece through the loop and use it to secure the bottom of each seat in the space between the seats. CONSOLE COVER and HEADRESTS: Console front cover is OK. Tape away from the hinge to lock the console in the down position. The seams between the top and sides make it difficult to lay flat. We plan to use it for a while and see how we take it. The headrest covers are a little tricky to put on, but they fit well and look good. UPDATE Dec 2020: After 6 months we are still very happy with these seat covers. . All the wrinkles that were at the beginning have almost disappeared. Seat heating through them works great. They were comfortable in summer and now in winter. We don't wear shorts in the summer, so we can't report on how they perform in that regard in the summer. Everyone thinks these are factory leather seats, not seat covers. The color goes perfectly with the gray interior of Honda.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
