Hi....I'm looking for seat covers for my '16 Rebel. The driver's side bottom seat is cracking on the vinyl side bolsters.....nothing I did, it's just vinyl failing, which is disappointing (and not covered by warranty). I know I can buy a new bottom OEM cover ($300+) but I'm not there yet. I'd rather have covers.
It looks like the Rebel seats are slightly different than stock seats? I'm not sure.
Here is what I have looked at:
Katzkin: Best on the market and $$$, but require pro installation (remove OEM covers). No thanks.
Clazzios: I had Clazzio's on a prior vehicle (08 FJ Cruiser).....they were fantastic and fit like a glove over the OEM covers. No one could tell they weren't factory leather seats......they are that good. But they are also ~$600+. So far this is the only good option I've found.
Amazon (various vendors): Everything I've seen on Amazon is NOT full covers......all of the "leather" ones have cutouts in the side, for the side air bags. That is not acceptable......they will look like seat covers.
Covercraft/Carhatt: I think the Carhatt's would be great (washable).....but the fit looks horrible! Even the pics on Covercraft's website look all loose and wrinkly. No way. The "PrecisionFit" series looks like they fit better, but not perfect. The "PrecisionFit" series starts to get to Clazzio pricing.
Wet okole: I've always heard good fitment comments about these, but I've also heard they are HOT in the summer. I live in Texas.....I've got all the heat I need.
Any other thoughts for Rebel covers?
