Review on πŸš— Motor Trend AquaShield Car Seat Covers for Front Seats, Blue – Waterproof Two-Tone Seat Protectors, Premium Neoprene Universal Fit Accessories for Auto Truck Van SUV by Joel Wright

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The lid slips around and gets uncomfortably warm. All ligaments tore after 6 months.

I bought a used 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited last year and the driver's seat is very worn. There was a large hole in the skin from which foam came out. Having that seat cover was better than having to slide the foam around and reposition it on a folded piece of leather every time. I love that this cover still allows access to the large pocket on the back of the front seats and I can get to the lumbar control button on the side. There are 2 seat covers in this kit, but so far I've only used one for my driver's seat. It wasn't very difficult to set up. It didn't have hinges on the front of the seat as stated in the instructions. There is only one set of straps with loops at the bottom. If there were straps in the front as well, it would probably fit better and not slip as much. Although the description says these cases are non-slip, the inner layer is non-rubberized and non-slip. So I fixed it by putting a large piece of non-slip pad on the seat under the cover. This works well but tends to stick together after a while. About every week I have to reach for the seat cover and smooth the upholstery. The last thing I don't like about this seat cover is that it's quite warm. My back and legs sweat a lot when I have to ride for more than a short ride. It's still a warm time of year, so maybe some extra warmth comes in handy in the winter. 3 stars vs 2. I didn't return these seat covers but I wish I had :-( All the straps holding the seat cover snapped! I think it's because the cover is NOT non-slip and has been twisted under tension and pull with every step in and out which put too much strain on the fabric material of the straps The seat cover was only in place for 6 months hence this short lifespan and downside of the straps weakness made me regret this purchase I still have this other that came with the kit and will probably replace the one currently in use, but for now I wish I had chosen a different case from the start.
