aftermarket seat cover craziness

Post by reno »

its crazy what im going though trying to fine car seat covers for are new GMC Arcadia 7 seater. seeing has front and center roll bucket seats . it wouldn't be as bad if we had gone with 2nd and 3 roll bench seating. but no I wanted 2nd roll buckets . the 2nd roll buckets have armrests also side airbags built in them. so IM finding out they require custom order seat covers at the tone of $285.00 and up just for the 3rd roll seats. sure we can fine / buy over the counter for the front seat and 2nd bench for under $80 .but the 3rd roll bench happens to be a special order item to . IF we were to do the custom route it been about $1000.00 that's crazy . for the whole car. so im just buying for the front seat .and wife will get towels and try and to make them . fig it cost under $100 total this way.

It's new? why seat covers? I've only ever used seat covers on older cars when the seats had issues.

Ok, I knew there had to be more to the story. There's cheaper ways to accomplish protecting your seats that customize fitted seat covers. If your dogs at least stay in the back seat, then look at the quilted seat covers made specifically for protecting them from dogs.

For example,

If you're set on fitted seat covers,
check https://www.carid.com/
https://www.precisionfit.com


I've used https://www.leatherseats.com/ for my 2004 4Runner, but it doesn't look like they go past 2019 for Acadia.

Ooooo. That quilted hammock for the back seat is a brilliant idea.

i have tried a bunch of company's '- the response has been the same or close to this.
none at moment. my arm rest on rear buckets are not removable .and like said earlier back buckets are also wide then the front one's. 3rd headrests are non removal able. :(
after contacting 4 or 5 company's directly custom looks only choice -or wife idea. even GM not selling a aftermarket set for my model.
(will say its my fault and not my wife for this grief. as it was me who wanted 2nd roll buckets .she would of been happy with dual rear bench seats)
{also most come/sell with dual bench 7 passenger- not 6 passenger bucket seating.}

Thank you for contacting us. Our covers are semi customized to fit most vehicles. As long as the arm rests and front and rear head rests are completely removable, and there are no built-in seat belts in the seats, then our covers should fit your vehicle’s seats nicely. Please keep in mind we do not guarantee a perfect fit, for they are designed for a universal fit. Most of our products also have dimensions in the pictures that you can use to compare to your seats. If your vehicle meets these requirements, you can view the listings in the following category.

https://www.fhgroupauto.com/category/3-row/

All of them are for a split bench, and you will be able to make it smaller (from left to right) in order to fit the 2 bench seats on the 3rd row.
