Suitable seat covers?

Post by nicxf » Thu Nov 01, 2012 11:19 pm

Want to get some seat covers (front and rear seats) for my van but not sure what size I need to be looking for. Are the universal ones suitable or would they be too short for the bench seat? Are there any other models of car whose seat covers are a suitable shape for a bongo?

Quite like the furry ones....look very snuggly to curl up in..!

I have these from my old VW:

Standard one size fits all single covers, fit fine on the Bongo front seats but the doubles we had, don't fit on the rear seats. I've tried at least 3 different models on them with no joy.

Ah, bummer. That back seat is pretty wide, I guess. Was wondering if any of the covers made for mpvs and 4x4s are suitable.

Good to know universal front seat covers fit ok though. Those ones are preety! :)

Best place to try I reckon would be town and country:

We looked for a while then decided not to bother as we'd have to cut holes in them for our child seat and for the seat belts.
Front ones are cool though ..... 8)

I have heard of peeps buying a couple of sets of the aldi/lidl seat covers to do all seats.

You could try these people.

There's a guy trades on Ebay by the name 'Turtle Covers'. I saw a set he made for a T5 - really good custom fit, and took into consideration the splits and folds in the seats. I asked him about making a set for a Bongo - he says he has a template and is going to make some for a friend within the next couple of weeks. That's a bit of R&D out of the way at someone elses expense, and I'm happy to wait for that. prices were front £40, centre £50, rear £40.
