    Hello all,
    New to the forum as just picked up my 2011 Prius II last Saturday.
    Very nice but not fond of the stock Toyota fabric. Looking into putting on the Clazzio leather seat covers. Read some of the other posts and they look nice and seems like most are pleased with them. My question is once you get them installed properly, do you have to go back and refit, tighten up, align seams, etc every so often or do they stay in place and look fitted ? Don't want to spend $400+ on something that slips over the existing fabric and ends up looking like the slip on covers you see on sofas - messy and not fitted well.:rolleyes:
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mine look factory other than the rear armrest area. Been trying to figure out a way to fix that though. Overall, everything thinks it factory and they haven't needed any refitting. They're pretty form fitting. I had a set in my previous car as well.

    I just spend 4+ grueling hours installing my Clazzios. They look great, however, I too have a problem with the rear armrest. No matter how many times I twisted and maneuvered the cover during installation, the part of the seat back where the armrest folds into is not quite form fitting. Therefore, when I fold up the armrest, it does not go in quite all the way to where it is flush with the seat backs.

    After a year of hard use on mine, my driver seat bottom is wearing out thanks to my dog. I am debating between buying the one piece for $60 or get a new set as backup for $400. Anyone need another piece and want to split some parts?
