EKR Seat Covers Review and Thoughts

[kaliforniaman]

There are serval reviews of the EKR Seat Covers, so I won’t go into detail. However, I think I can add a few things that the YouTube installation video and prior reviews didn’t mention.
These are solid seat covers, and they look a feel great. The instructions lack some details, but it can be figured out with trial and error. I would like to see specific instructions for where the elastic straps attach. It helps to do the top covers first and use a stick or flex-claw to guide the straps under the front seats.
Last, the overall fit is good. The tie down snap holes seem to be in the wrong location, and there is only one hole for the back set strap.
There were some threads that needed to be cut back, but after a couple weeks I really like them.

I love mine as well. Mine didn't come with the snap holes cut at all though and when I inquired they said they've stopped pre-cutting the holes and I should just cut slots for the snaps myself. Makes sense since it seems that's a problem spot. I think it's just too hard to get them to line up correctly every time. I don't have a problem with it although I think they should mention that on their site if that's the direction they're going.

got some of these for our 24 sr5 also and they are nice quality but the front ones are def not easy to install
Did you just leave your original seat flap cover tucked behind the new seat cover backing?
Also ours had black wire for heated seats that did not line up with the cut outs in the seat cover pad wondering if anyone else has had that issue

Glad to see it wasn't a personal problem when the cut out for the back seat snap didn't really line up no matter how hard I yanked on it.

Pretty much every issue you noted, I'm dealing with, too. Eventually, I got fed up trying to find the hook that the OEM back covers are supposed to hook onto and gave up. Just couldn't find the damn things, and all using a hanger or pliers did was eliminate my ability to feel around for the hook under the seats.

Would love to see an install video where the front seat is entirely removed so it's easy to see what you're actually supposed to hook up to. Until that happens, I just used the hook attached to the EKR cover back and hooked it as far forward on the rail under the seat as I could. This secured both the EKR cover and OEM cover well enough where it looks like a finished install.

All that said, I'm so happy with these things and wish I'd have installed them immediately instead of waiting a year. My only wish is that they put more of their product assortment on the container to Amazon. You can buy like 4-5 different styles and get them in a reasonable amount of time, but they have probably 25 styles/colors if you order direct.
