Review on EKR Custom Fit Full Set Car Seat Covers for Subaru Forester 2010-2013 - Leatherette (Beige) by Flavio Iyer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't expect a seamless fit and easy installation

Overall I would buy this again. Bought for Forester 2020. The covers are thick, I personally like the material and they make the car look damn good. It's like paying an extra 6,000 to get the trim with leather seats. However, the included installation guide was only general and I had to go to YouTube to find out. The front seats are no problem. The only problem was that the fabric on the original seats blocked the gap between the top of the seat and the bottom so I couldn't get some of the straps through to attach to the Velcro. Now the back seats. Excellent, easy. saddle part. My god, it was so hard to get in. Not only is it difficult to re-latch the hooks that hold the bottom of the seat down, but the seat covers also block the latch needed to snap the seats back. So here I am trying to lower the seats to snap them back into place while pulling back part of the seat cover, being careful not to have too much loose seat cover making the landing look wrong. After a lot of effort, effort and strategic thinking, I grabbed it. The fit is not ideal for sitting. The headrest covers look strange and deformed. But in general. It looks damn good and I felt damn good when I got the job done.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
