★★☆☆☆
Cover slides around and is uncomfortably warm. All straps broke within 6 months.
I purchased a used 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited last year and the driver's seat had sustained quite a bit of wear and tear. The leather had a big opening in it and the foam was coming out. Having this seat cover was better than dislodging foam every time and having to reposition myself over a folded piece of leather. I do like that this cover still allows access to the big pocket on the back of the front seats and I can get to the lumbar support control button on the side.
There are 2 seat covers that come in this set, but so far I've only used one for my driver's seat. It wasn't terribly hard to get on. It did not have any loop straps on the front of the seat, as indicated in the instructions. There are only one set of loop straps on the bottom. If there were straps in the front as well, it would probably fit better and not slide as much.
Even though the description says these covers are non-slip, the inside layer is not rubberized or grippy at all. So I have remedied it by placing a large piece of non-slip shelf liner on top of the seat under the cover. That works OK, but it does tend to bunch up after awhile. So every week or so I have to reach behind the seat cover and straighten out the liner.
The final thing I don't like about this seat cover is it is quite warm. My back and legs get very sweaty if I have to drive for more than a short ride. It is still in the warm time of year, so maybe the extra warmth will be welcome in the winter.
But I really don't enjoy the sweaty, warm-bum feeling and may end up returning these.
Update March 2019 - Rating changed from 3 stars to 2. I did not end up returning these seat covers but wish I had :-( All the straps holding the cover to the seat have snapped! I think this is due to the cover NOT being non-slip and the stress of it being twisted and pulled every time I got in and out of the seat put too much strain on the fabric material of the straps. The seat cover has only been in place for 6 months so this short lifespan and flaw in making the straps so weak have made me regret this purchase. I still have the other one that came in the set and will probably replace the one currently in use with it, but at this point I wish I had gone for a different cover from the beginning.
