EKR Renegade 2015-2023 Custom Fit Car Seat Covers Full Set - Waterproof Neoprene Leather Seat Protector for Jeep Renegade - Black Car Seat Cushion | Perfect for Off-Roading, Daily Commute & Interior Protection

First off, to those who say these are "expensive" - I'd urge you to see what kind of junk there is at Walmart or Autozone for a full front/rear set @ $60-80. Now imagine that those all fit like baggy hand-me-down clothes, and are mostly made of thin material that resembles womens leggings except the seat tops. Katzkin charges $1500+ to do a slightly more professional install version of what these EKR seat covers do, for less than 1/10 of the price and a few hours of your time. EKR leatherette seats are a STEAL.These "seat covers" are more like replacements. They fit nearly like a glove in my 2019 Renegade, and most people assume it's factory leather. The quality of the leather seems on par with that of my 2020 4Runner and 2014 Tacoma; it feels like the "real" (as in, fake, but what the car companies use on nice vehicles) leather you'd expect in a new car. It's padded in the right places, well stitched, reinforced in the right places, and overall makes your car look like it came with a better/nicer package than it did. They don't shift all over like a slip over or cinch-on seat cover; installed properly it feels like they were meant to be there.The front seats went in relatively easy with no tools* involved and no need to disassemble anything other than removing the headrests (*you will need to use the tip of your key to release the headrest but let's not call that "tools" - I mean no wrenches or screwdriver). The top/back leather section slid on tightly but was not hard to pull down - the holes for the headrest mounts looked too small, and I was afraid I would damage them by stretching them over the mounts, but rest assured you will get them on without tearing them - and they will snap right back and look amazing once they're in place. I'm a large frame guy at 6'2" and it took some contorting to get under and tug into place then fasten the lower section of the seat cover, but overall it was a simple process. The headrests were a bit more of a challenge - the front seat less so than the rear - and I did pop some stitches on one, not on the leather but on the elastic around the bottom where they snug to the headrest. I stitched it back up, and chalk the issue up to a weaker design (one of few) and my own manhandling of the product.The rear seats were much more of a process, and I did need to remove the backs and the seats themselves to get the coverts installed. If you have a set of wrenches and some common sense,this isn't hard, and they look great when you are done. I could see someone who regularly carries passengers in the rear set choosing to put in some seatbelt buckle extenders <$15 for a two-pack) as the buckles do not extend far beyond the cover. The rear left and right headrest covers went on easier than the front, with no tears, but the center was very difficult to get on due to its shape - I found myself turning it partially inside out, and rolling the material downwards.The center console/armrest? Yeah. I cannot figure that out. Please send help.Overall I'd give this set a 9 out of 10 stars, I rounded up giving 5/5 starts. With a few minor improvements it'd be a perfect 10. The price does all the talking with EKR covers,and the quality is exceptional. I intend to buy more in the future.The good:Looks like factory leather, feels nicer than factory leather.Doesn't shift around like a traditional "seat cover".The price is amazing for what you get... seriously.The installation process is fairly simple/intuitive, and does not require specialised tools/skills.The bad:The lever to adjust the angle of the seat back still works, but the leather sections between the seat back and seat bottom now drag on each other, and the back doesn't move as easily or "snap" into place like it once did. This is a small issue, and is greatly outweighed by the benefits of this seat cover system, but still bears noting.Also... this set comes with no instructions. OK I lied, it EFFECTIVELY comes with no instructions. There's a generic albeit well-printed/made instruction booklet that almost in no way applied to my vehicle except for little bits and pieces, and referenced a lot of things that clearly did NOT apply to my vehicle. The instruction booklet refers you to EKRs Youtube channel for more details... when I got to Youtube there was no video for a Jeep Renegade or similar. The other Jeep videos there were helpful for a few things, but overall I was left "winging it" with much of the install. Granted, it's a fairly intuitive process to install most of this kit, but... GUYS - MAKE AN INSTALL VIDEO FOR EACH VEHICLE YOU OFFER COVERS FOR, OR PRINT VEHICLE-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION BOOKLETS AT LEAST! ONE OR THE OTHER!Worth noting... The stitching on the elastic for the headrests sucks; I would have preferred it have a flap that goes under the headrest from front to back and affixes there somehow, perhaps with webbing like the lower seats - even stitching or snaps. The way they affix now is sliding them on tightly, and relying on loosely/weakly stitched elastic at the bottom which snugs (sort of) to the headrest posts. Even if it had a flap that was shoved into the back it would look nicer and install easier! This is the 2nd weakest part of the whole set! GUYS - IMPROVE THE HEADREST DESIGN; IT FEELS CHEAP AND THE REST OF YOUR SET IS TOO NICE FOR SUCH A WEAK DESIGN TO BE INCLUDED!Absolute biggest problem with this set, the #1 problem with the set in my eyes, is the center armrest cover... how the heck does this thing go on? It's the right size and shape, almost, but I am completely confused. On one end, it has a cutout in the leather. That cutout is roughly the same size as the indent with the hatch release on the FRONT of the arm rest. It's also roughly the same size as the fixed portion of the sliding assembly in the BACK of the armrest. Installed either way (with the hole at the front, or the hole at the back) or at least partially installed I guess, it doesn't seem to fit properly - the sides are left partially uncovered toward the bottom, the armrest won't slide, the hatch release is difficult to use, and it looks/feels like it could fly off at any moment. GUYS - PLEASE ADVISE!
