Hiya,

Has anyone purchased seat covers for XA that they like? I see some on the web but I don't know about the quality and the fit. Any help sure would be appreciated.

I bought a set of these for about $20 each in a local dept store. The reason I like them is because they protect the seats very well and greatly expand the interior storage space (because of all the pockets).

They are universal covers, so they are not a custom, glove-like fit, but they fit well enough and the cords on the sides help snug up the fit.

I used a soldering iron to melt 2 small holes in the top of the covers so that I could re-attach the head rests.

Hi,
Thanks for the info on wet okole. I looked at their web site and they have some very good looking seat covers. I plan to order some right away. The colors and choices on "trim" are pretty nice looking!
Thanks!

You know, I have an RS1... and i hate the thought of covering the great seats, but today i just noticed that where my wallet hits the seat it is causing some pilling on the fabric -- after only 6 weeks!!!!!! So, in order to preserve the seats for the times when i want them to look nice, I think i may have to get some covers. Thanks for the links.... i'm going to check out my options. Until then, i've just been taking the wallet out... now if i could just remember to bring it with me when i get *out* of the car!

Hi,
I see on the wetokole site they will even send you fabric swatches so you can evaluate the color you might want in your Scion. The pictures on the site also give a great view of how they look in the vehicle.

from the looks of it, do they go over the stock fabric? katzkins actually replaces the stock fabric with top of line leather and suede

Wet Okole goes over the existing fabric. They say you can even remove, wash them and then put them back on. I don't if anyone on this forum has tried them yet though. I saw pics of them on an xB another site, but no comments on how they fit or wear.
Here's the link for their blurb on why wet okole is wuuunderful
