Anyone has one of these?

Does it cover the passenger seatback tray (non TRD)?

from what i hear and can see it does not obstruct the tray

I looked at these and really like them.

I live in central Ca and it gets very hot, these look like they may be hot and sticky to sit on in the summer, they seem more like rubber than cloth, any info on them would be helpful.

toyota says they are made from a "wetsuit-like" material

if so, then it would be neoprene fabric which is actually very nice. doesnt get particularly hot or cold, and is nice and cushy

Wow...the seat covers look real good. Is there one for the Tundra???

Not factory accessory.

Just received the seat covers but they don't have the photogenic look.

Top two corners (shoulders) are too squarish while the seatbacks have rounded shoulders (empty underneath).

Step 4d & e (pg 5) were impossible to perform without twisting the plastic strap.

I will post pics after complete installation of passenger back cover.

sounds to me like maybe you got the wrong seat covers. they make a set for the trd model and a set for the regular seats

the trd seats have more side bolstering and thus would need a wider cover, if that same wider cover was installed on a thin seat i would expect similar results to those you are experiencing.

however this is just my opinion. you could however cross-check the part numbers for peace of mind

Here are the pics:

I was able to complete the passenger seatback piece.
It's rubber like material. Takes a good stretch to get it in place.
Headrest covers are a bit short. You can see the factory cover.

The material gives a clean smooth feeling. Easy to clean and does not absorb sweat and dirt.

i got a pair and dont got my truck yet and they look kinda junky ... take a pik from the front so we can see everything

Will take some more pics later after I clean up all the trash.

I used to have f/r set covers for Tundra by great-covers. They are "full" covers held by strings/bands. The finish look is very factory but messy under the seats.

These neoprene covers have the back exposed therefore will not conform to the contour of the seats. They are held by velcros, 1 tube and 1 strap. No loose strings/bands. Much cleaner look but a pain to install.

they don't look too bad if you ask me. I'd like to see a pic from the front when you have a chance as well.
