I guess I have about six spots where the cloth has little frays on the bottom cushion drivers side.They offered to cut them down flush and I said no, replace please, so they are. I don't wear belts and I'm not a huge guy and don't transport dogs, so this is defective in my eyes. |

Took a close look at my passenger side seat today and it definitely has a frayed look to the front edge of the seat. I also found two parts of the seat without support. It's like there are two fifty cent pieces of cushion removed or missing. I will call Subaru on Monday..
Also got GT and WO samples, does anyone have pics of the seat cover installed in their car? |

Wet Okole is REALLY slow. I think they have a 2012 Impreza on order, to get the measurements, haha. They said it could be 20 days before shipping. They weren't kidding. Must be running on island time.... |

Probably, if you stitched the velcro to the material, although the material behind the seat tends to bunch up because of the way the straps pull on it, so that might be a bit of an issue. |

It took a couple days for Wet Okole customer service to get back to me.
NOW they are claiming 4 Weeks "in production" before shipping. Supposed to be shipping out Thursday 6/5, another week or so for transit. I hope they are worth the wait! Jus be in no hurry brudda! |

For the front seats, how far down did you pull the cloth portion of the seat covers? Mine seems to cover most of the plastic trim on the bottom of the seats as well as the plastic seat adjustment levers. |

No pics available but just picture small frays in the cloth about 6 -7 of them sticking up about a half inch or less on the drivers seat bottom and also the seat back but not as many. I was informed the replacement seat cover is on nationwide back order and would not be in for at least a month. It seems like the 13 OB and Legacy are going with a more Impreza like cloth. Most likely the same vendor. Hope it holds up!

Another option is this: http://www.wetokole.com/SUBARU.html
They've been around for years, and have some different types of covers, largely neoprene which is great if you're a real outdoorsman. A lot of people want a no-hassle cover that's easy to clean off, and good for being water resistant as well. Those are a decent choice. Just my two cents. |

Wet Okole seat covers installed
My Wet Okole seat covers finally arrived! Almost exactly 5 week wait for a west coast delivery. This MIGHT have been the first ones they made for this model, pushing the time for delivery, or it might be normal lead time, per their remark "4 weeks of factory time" in a status report.
Are they worth it? If you need/want a high quality, well fitting seat covers, that look good, then these Made in the USA seat covers fill the bill. I am happy with them. And they are competitive pricing compared to other higher quality seat covers. They are a SNUG fit. Most of the hour to install was snugging them into place. Do not try this on a hot day, it is some work. The fastening seems very secure and was relatively easy, as long as you are able to reach your arms under your front seats. The fastex buckles on nylon straps are relatively easy to click shut and pull tight by feel, without being able to see them. The neoprene is covered on both sides with fabric, which should improve durability and not chew up your seat under the cover. I did not remove any of the seat parts or shrouding. One tiny spot only by the driver's side tilt lever was a bit of a funky fit and has a tiny wrinkle. Maybe removing the shroud would avoid that, but its really not noticeable and didn't seem worth any extra effort. (see photo) This weekend we will be driving around eastern WA (Leavenworth) in muggy heat in the 90's degF. We should know hot weather comfort using these covers after that. My wife and I really like the color choice. A nice simple gray band in the center. It pops and ties together the imitation brushed chrome trim in the car, ties in with the headliner nicely, and provides enough accent so that the interior of the car doesn't just look like a black hole. I probably will stick with my $60 cordura nylon covers on my 2003 Honda Element hiking/biking vehicle, because it does work, but the cheap covers do look like crap in comparison and need constant fiddling to keep putting them back into place. And I suppose looking like crap is a benefit at high crime trail heads that we have in the Northwest. But after seeing these....it is tempting....... |

I am experiencing problems with the fabric on the driver's side. After 12K the fabric is not holding well. The Amazon.com: FH-PU007115 Deluxe Leatherette Car Seat Covers, Airbag compatible and Rear Split, Black color seems to be promising. Any other more comments regarding this product?

Seat heater comes through just fine. Yes, they also make covers for the rear seat, if you can afford the full meal deal. |

I assume you meant the back of the front seats, right?
I can't think of such a product, other than a seat cover that covers all of the front seat, including its back. |
