New Seat Covers installed

[ReverendPete]

My seats were fine, but I'm an Amazon Vine member (where you get certain items for free, and you have to post a review), and these were offered to me, so I thought I would check them out. The stitching pattern mimics the original seats, and they do have the pouch on the backs of the front seats. I really like how colorful they are, and I think they look great, especially since I have the black Shelby stripes on my MME. I know some people aren't too crazy about colored piping on seats, but I don't mind it.

Installation was a fair amount of work. Overall, it took me about 2 1/2 hours to do. I did the front seats by myself, but had a buddy help me with the back bench covers. There is a fair amount of working in tight spaces required. The covers are very tight on the seats, and so it's work to get them on. The front seat covers have a zipper that can help you get it onto the seat. I did one unzipped and the other without unzipping, and I would say it was about the same amount of work. Unzipping makes it easier to get it on the seat, but it's a ton of work to get the zipper closed! The back seat cover has some zippers that are required to be used, so that you can get it underneath the middle seatbelt. And you're best off removing the trunk deck and everything in the trunk.

The seat covers look very much like they could be OEM. And they add a bit of flair to the car! The cover for the center arm rest is a piece of junk, though.

Anyway, I thought I would post this here, since I have seen a number of threads about people with damage on their seats... Unfortunately they only have black, white, and then these red striped ones, so it worked out for me with a red car, but it would be good if they had more color options!

Here's the listing on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8ND4DWP

I like the stripes!

Hey Pete, these look great. Question though, is it possible to get a pair just for the front? Don't need the rears.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like FREESOO sells just the front seat covers, at least on Amazon.

They do have another pattern available, too, and it has a nice looking grey on black color scheme... https://www.amazon.com/FREESOO-Seat-Covers-Mustang-Mach/dp/B0DSPWLZYC/ref=sr_1_2

I like the look of your seat covers with the light and dark, to complement the stripes! It would be even cooler if the seat cover dark color was dark blue, but that would turn into the same issue I have, where my wife wants new curtains and it ends up with a whole house remodel

Those look nice. I’ve never seen a single Mach-e thing pop up on Vine, but that’s a Vine issue. I’m wondering how they hold up? ATM I’m leaning towards Wet Okole atm for my 21, those are neoprene seat cover, so a bit different.

Yeah, not a lot of MME stuff on Vine, but I search for it often, and have gotten a few things, including windshield wipers, cabin air filter, panoramic roof shade, jack pads, and these seat covers.

These covers seem as sturdy, if not more so, compared to the original seats. But they don't breathe, and would not be good for the newer vented seats. Actually, the seat heater seems a bit less pronounced because of that as well (not that I need that on this time of year!)

I live in upcountry Hawaii island. Think winters in Santa Barbara. Yeah, it’s brutally mild. I use the seat heater during the winter. Winter was on a Thursday this past year.

We’ve used wet okole seat covers in other vehicles for years, always had good luck. My 21 mme seats are still in very good shape so thus isn’t an urgent need yet.

I’ll scour Vine for more Mme stuff. Thanks for the tip.

I did the seat covers first before I got the racing stripes urge.

They go with my Star While Metallic paint.

My heart bleeds for you!
(Love Hawaii -- Every place I have been, but it has been almost 50 years since I was on the big island. We did Christmas in Kauai last year, though.)

Yeah, I keep a list of things I search for pretty much every day, and Mach-e is on the top of the list. Sometimes you go weeks or months with that returning zero results...

I just can’t believe my wife is not on vine already. I mean she financed half of bezos’ wedding!

 

[ChrisO]

Those really do look like factory.

From what I’ve read the people that have had tears in their seat covers are because they have the vented seats with all those wholes in the covers.

Hey Rev, I bought the Freesoo seat covers finally. I reached out to them to try and get just the fronts, but they wouldn't budge. However, they had a smokin' Black Friday deal this week for the whole set, so it was worth it. Probably what I would've paid for just the fronts. Installed today. It was a MFer. But so glad I did. I'm very active and am wet and sweat a lot from various recreational activities, so I'd been using various blankets and towels for the seat. These are great. Look even better than the original seats! No more towels/blankets

Wife has had the wet okole in her mach-e for 4 years now. 80K miles with kids and she takes the dog sometimes too. They still look new. I would highly recommend them at this point.

Damn, those look great! I saw those pop up on Vine, they were sitting for a day or two. I totally regret not pulling the trigger on them now. Especially since my front seat is cracking!

How have they held up? Still like them? Considering getting some seat covers, and was looking at Wet Okole, but I really do like the look of these too.

Also, how well do they work with the seat heaters? Any noticeable difference?
