To avoid painful neck turning, I rotated the photo:

 

Would you mind posting more photos of the cover? Such as the backseat arm rest, etc.? I debating whether to purchase this seat cover or a generic one, and the most important thing to me is fit. (not really caring about the CRV logo)

 

Looks like a nice custom fit to me. Thanks for sharing.

 

I like how it's different for driver and passenger seat. I will allow to fold one seat without removing the cover.
Thanks for uploading!

Thanks for posting these. I have a toddler and was was wondering what they looked like and how they fit.

 

CollegeKid, I posted a two more pics of the rear and armrest. I also fixed the rotation, so you can delete the photo in your first response.

If you look at the back of the seat covers, you'll notice a few velcro areas that are unused. I'm betting that those are for use with the cargo liner which may need velcro to attach to the back of the seat (or I attached the covers incorrectly).

 

First "real-world" use of the seat covers happened this week.

Lots of dirt from the bottom of shoes found its way onto the seat cover due to the rear-facing child seat. A quick wipe with a damp cloth cleaned it up easily so it looks easy to maintain so far.

 

Frap, Thanks for your reply and the addition of these new photos!

Are the seat covers water proof? I'm debating whether I should hold off until the leather / water proof seat covers come to market (or if someone discovers a good fit with generic back seat covers that are leather / waterproof).

 

I have not tried soaking them, but they appear to be waterproof. There is still a gap that could allow water to go under the seat, but the seat it self is pretty well protected.

 

Any update? Thoughts, observations, pictures, etc? I just ordered this to protect ivory seats from the kids in a CRV I pick up this week. I was dead set on getting black interior because of the kids but I'm used to light interiors in my car and the black on black on black made me feel cramped and scuffs were really evident in the demo. I guess that's par for the course.

So I'm counting on this to be my solution If you were to say this isn't a great product or had other advice I guess I would reconsider the ivory vs. black interior before I complete the final paperwork and take delivery. Thanks!

 

If they are made of neoprene (same material as wet suits) then yes they will be water proof.

 

No new news, CRVSPEED. They have stayed in place and I haven't noticed any new problems or issues.

With ivory seats, you may see some of the seat around the seams. Take a look at my pics in the first post to see the small gaps around the seams and edges. Those might be more visible with a lighter color underneath. With black seats, the gaps are less visible. I think this minor cosmetic issue may be the only thing that won't delight you.

If you want the ivory interior I think these seat covers are a good compromise to help you rest easier with kids in the back.

Previous thread on cleaning leather/leather color

 

Thanks for the input! I guess while the kids are young and with car seats the seat cover showing some of the lighter leather isn't a big deal. I'm also going to have the leather coated with OptiGuard, which I've used on other vehicles in the past. It helps with cleanup and jean dye transfer. Maybe I'll live to regret the ivory choice (this car isn't even for me), but maybe not and I'll be sure to post my experiences!

 

Are these available for front seats as well or just rears. No kids or dogs thank goodness, but I usually wear shorts in summer and they don't mix well with leather int. It's a shame you have to get leather pkg in order to get other goodies that you want.

 

Aftermarket version for the front....not expensive at all and should do a good job:

Weird question. I just got a new 2017 CR-V with leather interior. I'm a disabled driver and so I take my wheelchair apart each time I get in the car and throw the frame into the back right passenger side seat. I can tell that over time it's probably going to end up ruining the leather. Here's my question. The only part that really gets any "wear" when I'm doing this action (over and over) is the seat itself, but not the seat back or headrest. Is it possible to only put the seat bottom part of these covers on or is it all or nothing? The other question relates to the center and left back passenger seat cover. Can I leave those off with the design the way it is?

Thanks for any feedback and or answering my questions.

 

It comes in like 15 pieces, so you can do as much or as little as you want. Think about it like this, each seat is a piece, each seat back is a piece, each headrest is a piece, etc. The material is thick and will help protect the leather but you might also want to put on the removable pads that you put under baby seats as well (if you're really worried). I tried to go without the pads and just the seat protectors with my kids car seats and I could tell after a few days that indents were definitely transferring through the Honda seat protector and into the leather. I think I caught it in time to not cause any permanent damage but just an FYI.

 

I also purchased the Honda Seat covers.
The tops fit very tight BUT the seat bottoms are so loose.
This is a design error as the way the bottoms connect to the seat should have gone under the seat not to the back of the top of the seat.
The extra space needed for the seat bottoms is needed when the seats to fold down.
Hard to explain but if you have them you would understand.

I have had https://www.wetokole.com/ on my other Honda for over 10 years.
They come highly recommend - you pay for quality.
They cost $285 for the rears only and fit like they were installed at the factory.
They are designed MUCH better than the Honda versions with the added benefit of available front seat coverage.

 

Does anyone have these? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger but would like to see them in the wild

 

Excellent! Thanks for the response. I went ahead and bought the set because you can't buy just the pieces (as you describe). They installed just the one seat bottom for me and so far, it's doing the trick and making me feel a TON more comfortable with throwing my chair frame into the back seat each time I get in and out about 10 times a day. Thanks again for the response and assistance. This is a really nice seat cover. Stays in place like a champ and looks really nice too.

 

Looking to grab a set of these to cover our leather back seats as well. We only have 1 car seat right now, but very good chance there will be another back there within a year or 2.

My question for those of you with it already; Does it protect the seats underneath at all from being deformed/indented from the car seat? At the minimum it seems it would prevent any transfer onto the seats, which is nice. Just trying to figure out if this solves both the problem of keeping the seats clean AND protecting them from any potential car seat damage. Definitely wouldn't want to add one of those seat protectors on top of doing this for fear it'd be too thick and interfere with proper installation of the cat seat.

 

I have 2 car seats (toddler seat/infant base + seat) and use the OEM seat covers with Prince Lionheart Seat Savers to be safe (used one in my old GTI and no marks were left in the leather seats). I'm sure I'll have the same result with the CR-V, got the covers for added protection from 2 kids.

 

Pacalon,

I think it is too early to tell. I have two seats "permanently" installed so it is likely there will be some wear when they are removed. The car seat is such a necessity that this possibility does not bother me at all.

It is difficult for me to imagine a seat cover that will allow the seat to be installed properly and also prevent any indentations.

I plan to eventually post here when the time comes to remove them, but that will not be for a long while.

 

Did anyone install these rear set cover on fabric instead of leather ? I suppose they would work on both, which maybe explains why some members mention they are tight in some areas?

I have an EX and thinking of getting it. Especially with the winter coming and the baby seat, I'm seriously thinking in getting it for this car and for my other HR-V EX.

 

Thank you everyone for your posts on the installation of the seat covers. Where is the best place to purchase the seat covers? College hill Honda has them on sale for roughly $178.00 plus shipping. Ive never used that site. Is that a reputable site to purchase accessories? Amazon sells the them for $177 plus 17.00 shipping (no prime). Of course Honda sells them for $239.00. Thanks for your input!

 

College Hills is a good place to order.

I have also used www.bernardipart.com and www.handa-accessories.com

Do a google search for the part number to get more sites that sell the covers.

My local dealship matched the internet price (plus shipping) YMMV.

 

Is this still the best option? Any good aftermarket options?

 

I installed the OEM seat covers too (I've got a thread posted somewhere here a few months back) and agree that fit and finish is top notch. I got it for the same reason as the OP. I also got aftermarket covers for the front seats (I have a thread on that too if you're interested in which brand I got). I have used Wet Okole on another car in the past and agree that they truly are quality products both in how well they fit and match the OEM seat style (including where they put the stitchings so that it doesn't look too aftermarket) as well as the material. Wet Okole makes front seat covers for the CR-V but it was just a bit too much money for me so I went with something cheaper.

In the end I'm not a particular fan of leather seats (I don't find them particularly more "elegant" or "comfortable" feeling than cloth or anything else. And once they start to wear (getting that greasy shine from repetitive rubbing or just your own natural oils from your hands, and those ugly creases/cracks) they look way worse than cloth. Especially that outer seat bottom bolster that you rub against and put your weight on every time you get in/out of the car. But I'm also not a particular fan of cloth seats either. What I am a fan of is being able to remove the outer cover for cleaning/replacement, hence the seat covers. And as I mentioned on my other seat related threads, with the tiny perforations on our seats for that "sporty look" I can't imagine how you would clean up drink spills with whatever you've spilled getting into those tiny holes!

 

Don't mean to "bump" an old thread but I bought these a few days ago for a brand new CR-V EX-L with gray interior. We have a dog and no way were we going to not protect those new seats. Very happy with the finish and fit of these!
