Seat covers

Front seat side airbags are mounted in the front seatbacks. Unless you can find toyota seat cover, I would not put them on the front seats.

 

I am with you on the whole covering softex seats! I actually just bought a V3 because I knew I would cover those gorgeous softex seats! (I am a runner and don't like sweaty seats and I have critters too.)

I found a company online that has a great reputation for manufacturing custom seat covers. I have ordered them already for the Prius V. Their website gives the option for the 2012 Prius but it is for the regular Prius NOT the V. I called the company and they are going to the local Toyota dealer to take measurements for the Prius V. The good thing is the covers with fit specifically for the V and accommodate side air bags! I ordered the waterproof endura fabric covers but they offer twill etc. Someone on the prius chat site referred the company to another member. I can't wait until mine arrive!

The company is exactseatcovers.com. You can check out samples online. I would suggest you call with your order to emphasize you need them for a Prius V. In addition, ask for John. He knows what's going on with the V.
Hope this helps.

 

I don't put seatcovers on fabric or cloth seats. Call me boring, but water only is fine in car while driving.

I could see throwing a towel over seats if dirty or sweaty.

 

Oh, those beautiful softex seats!!

My car is clear sky metallic with a bisque interior so I chose the tan color. (The company accidentally sent me the tan covers that fit the regular prius and the tan really blends nicely). The trim around the front seats' back pockets were brown but I was told they could change the trim color to tan as well. The material I ordered is endura-the waterproof backpack material. Not as stiff as you would think. If your husband is not concerned about waterproofing, the twill looks like and has a teflon protectant on it. It is also a lot softer than the endura.
The reason I did not order that material is because dog hair may get embedded. My lifestyle is a little too messy-in addition to sweating from running, I share large animal care duties off site which results in me being goat poop ridden etc. Once I receive my covers, I will post pictures.

 

Thanks for the link! I actually seat belt my guys in the back seat since I do not have other passengers who sit in the back.

Exactseatcoveres.com just emailed me and does not know when the covers will actually go into production.They referred me to a place called GTcovers.com which actually show custom seat covers for the Prius V. It looks like the endura covers come with a foam backing which makes them look a little weird. Plus, the foam may deteriorate over time. They are about two weeks out. You can order swatches too!
