Honda CRV seat covers?

HulaGirl · 02-21-2016, 12:41 PM

Hubby just leased a CR-V with very light gray interior. Thinking that seat covers would be a wise move since we will have the vehicle for 39 months and want to return it as clean as possible. In the past we've purchased seat covers from shearcomfort.com but hubby was not too happy with the way the neoprene covers held up and it looks like they've rasied their prices somewhat.

So, any suggested sites? TIA

On the other hand, have you thought about getting the interior professionally detailed before turning it in? I've seen some amazing jobs turning a beat up looking seat into almost brand new. It may be cheaper and you won't have to deal with the headache of a seat cover.

Good point and we're going to have to do that with the Civic lease as it also has light gray interior. (Never give a car to an 18yo boy to use as a college commuter car that has light-colored interior. Lesson learned.)

have you considered using scotchguard product to protect the interior? it's one thing to keep the leased car looking decent, but you shouldn't have to spend hundreds doing so.

also griot's Interior Cleaner is a great product to scrub stains you might get down the road. just spray into the stain, rub with a damp cloth or MF towel. i usually use hot water and wring it before i rub it. repeat as necessary.

Have you considered not caring?
Honestly, it's a lease, it can't be abnormally stained, but if your black jeans make the seats darker over time... Their job to fix it

Thanks for the Griot's suggestion. DS is driving the Civic back/forth to college this year and he decided to lay a buttered bagel on the passenger seat. UGH!

We've never leased so I guess we're paranoid

Coverking should have what you are looking for in a custom seat cover. Used them in my Wrangler and Frontiers and love the quality. Even made love to a buttered bagel once in the Jeep and nothing bled through to the fabric. Should be sufficient for a college kid or hubby.

clazzio makes the best seat covers

That's what we ended up ordering --> Coverking Ballistic Canvas Seat Covers

I shopped around. It's amazing how much difference there is in prices on the same product.

yah, no worries. just use the car day to day as usual. no need to baby it. certain level of wear is expected (including door dings and minor scratches).

Check the contract, and/or ask the dealer about the dings/scratches

I've leased before. Wear and tear is normal. Even had a pretty good golf ball sized dent in the murano, they didn't care.

yep, leases are usually covered up to like 1500 or so. Dealers don't tell u this when u trade a lease for a new car and try to low ball u
