Alright folks I am looking for a good set of seat covers for my 2015 Colly. I noticed that Carhartt now makes covers and I know that their material is pretty good. Anybody else have any other suggestions?

Got my camo back seat covers for my crew cab from them and they are terrific.

Don't deal with Precision Fit Seat covers. I have had a nightmarish experience with them. Sent them $250, they sent the wrong seat covers (cost me $50 to send back) and then only reimbursed me $195. Supposedly they have a restocking charge.....they claim that these seat covers are custom made to the vehicle so if they were never on a "shelf" why would there be a "restocking" fee? They suck

CalTrend Dura-Plus Canvas Seat Covers

Did not want to go with a cheap "universal fit" and got a set of CalTrend Dura-Plus Canvas Seat Covers. Custom fit 3 piece ( head rest, seat back and seat).
I wanted to protect my seats as I use the truck as both a personal and service vehicle so spent the bucks for a quality set. Purchased them through AutoAnything over the holidays and they price matched and beat by a buck the best price I could find and got them for $172.00 and no shipping.

One of the most important part of buying a quality set is for safety. Our trucks have airbags on the side of the seats and a cheap pair will not let them work as designed, CalTrend has a flap that will open up when bag inflates.

The back side of the seat backs have a pocket which is nice ( I don't know why GM doesn't do this ) and is made of a softer material that may not last as long as the canvas.

The canvas material is tough and should last for a number of years without rips or tears. Fit was great but working with cold temps and kinda stiff material, I gently used a pair of lineman's pliers to pull the only everything tight (grabbing at seams) and took the time to get it right.

The only small problem I encountered was with a strap that runs under seat (door to console). Both seat bottoms were identical and should have been mirror imaged on the straps. Drivers side seat, the clasp hides next to the center console but on the passanger side, the clasp has to go over the plastic part of the seat under the recline handle. I could get it to go behind it. but it is impossible to access or fasten the clasp. ( I emailed CalTrend today to suggest change)

I've attached so pictures but black on black may not be easy to see. If you decide to buy a set of covers, do your homework. There are a lot of materials to choose from so consider your options and you might even as the MFG for a sample of a few.

Coverking Tactical Ballistic Canvas Seat Covers

I'm a construction worker (I actually bring a complete change of clothes and change head to tow daily the keep it clean, pain in the butt) so I like idea of less fabric to hold dirt and more of nylon-ish non penetrable surface. Not as nice to look at but my last seat covers were Neoprene and I could slap the seat and get enough fine dust to send a person into an asthma attack, and that fine dust would work its way through the fabric/neoprene.

The only thing that scares me is our unique headrest, I've yet to buy anything because I haven't seen a definitive picture, even though they say they are for our truck.
I have the ballistic nylon from CoverCraft front and back in my Cruze. They are thinner than the Carhart but are heavier duty and more wear resistant.

Because they have almost no stretch or give to them they are very hard to install.

I went to an auto upholstery shop and paid him $150 cash to install them. Money well spent. After he was done he told me that he would charge more for install next time because of the effort required.

There was a posting here. I am hoping to get $250 for them which would include $50 for shipping.

They are black cloth and new. The guy i got them from specializes in removal and making custom leather

The rears are also on ebay. You can bid on the whole set there if you wish.

If your close to NJ you can pick up

Thanks!!

Still waiting for my Marathon cordura nylon seat covers so I can't rate them yet. All I can say is 6-8 weeks is a bit outrageous, even for a custom-fit product. Hard to believe it only took 4 weeks for my truck to be built and delivered, but the seat covers take 6-8 weeks! I knew going in but ended up liking these covers the most of everything I looked at. I was told when I ordered that the factory was weeks behind, thus the delay.

Any update on the Marathon covers? Pictures (especially of the rear seats for me) would be really helpful as I decide between the OEM Chevy ones and the Marathons. Thanks

Also- can anyone with the OEM covers comment on what the material is? Hard to tell from the pictures and various website listings

Got the seat covers installed these are the OEM ones that GMC sells for the Canyon, fits the Colorado perfectly as well. The Vendor GMC uses for these covers is CoverKing. When I get sometime I may post a review and photos if anyone is interested. Note these are the rear seat covers only.

What seat covers have you installed?

I am looking at buying and installing seat covers on my 15 Canyon. My shorthair pointer is shedding like crazy and I'm tired of the wife whining about dog hair. Any suggestions or experiences would be most welcome. Besides get rid of the wife.:laugh: Thanks in advance.

I have cordura ballistic nylon covers. No problem with dog hair.

As for your other problem, let me know when you find a fix. I suspect that many will want your advice.

No worries. It's mostly that I remember the threads and have some idea of a key phrase to search by. Then I can recognize by the title if it's a thread I am looking for. If I couldn't remember the thread title of what is contained withing, I'd be useless.
