Seat covers suggestion & taillight modification on SE Prime?

In terms of car seat covers, one thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want them to interfere with side airbag deployment. It’s because of this consideration that I focused my search on car seat covers that don’t wrap around the side of the seats. While I ended up purchasing front seat covers from Covercraft, I’m not really a fan of them (the fit isn’t great, imho).

With respect to the fob, it seems that all Prius purchasers only received a single fob on pickup and received the second fob later. If you haven’t already, downloading and registering within the Toyota app allows a faster way to be contacted when your second fob is ready.

 

Please let me know if you find anything. I believe some car seat covers advertised as “air bag safe” use weaker stitching on the side, but I have no idea how that sort of thing is tested, never mind certified (if certification is even a possibility).

 

Same reason I went with the SE trim as well, then weeks later I found out that the lights differed between the SE and XSE/XSE Premium (front LED accent lights, lower front accent lights, differences in turn signal behavior and as you mentioned, the full width LED tail lights). Following this tread to hopefully learn more, thanks for starting it!

 

As far as the TPM sensors for the new wheels: you can use the ones that came with the original wheels. When I put new wheels on my Prime, that's what I did.

 

I was worried about the black upholstery getting dirty -- especially after owning a Sienna for 15 years and treating it like a truck!
So I went to a local thrift shop and bought a strip of dark fabric (for $1) and lay that over the rear seat. Helps considerably.
I may fabricate simple covers for the seat backs, but we very seldom have passengers in the back -- never, so far.
