Seeking a good and not too expensive seat cover...?

[herbeapuce]

Hi. Do you know of a good source for getting good quality seat covers for a 2005 matrix. I work in construction so I really need seat covers. I bought some once for another car and they ended up not lasting 3 months... Dealers will cost me an leg and an harm as usual. I would check online or on Ebay, there are so many..I just don't know if they are any good... any make standing out ?
I'm in Canada, but I do have siblings in the US that would help getting it back here if I have to.
thanks for your help.
Stef.

Do you have side air bags? Universal seat covers look like crap and do not fit well but are cheap. Custom ones are the way to go, they have cut outs for the side air bags.

The deployment of airbags can be interfered by the seat covers. Custom covers have a hold in the cover with a velcro cove to not impede the deployment of the side air bag. If you look at your seat on the side, if it has air bags, the side will say SRS on a small tag.

If you have curtain air bags too, they will come out around the door so your head can bounce.

If you dont have those airbags, any seat cover will fit, but it will probably not look like how your are expecting it to fit. Just dont get the cheapest ones and you should be ok. They should not cover the seat adjustments on the side of the seat.
