I just got a set of rear seat covers. I bought a set of roof racks and these came with them. Not sure if I'm going to use them though. This is a pic o them installed. They are the Wet Okole brand. I was told they sell for $250. If you're interested let me know. I'll make a good deal on them. Used for about 4 months. Only had a child seat on them.

For a child seat, just don't want any stains or rubbing on my leather.

I have 2 kids (7 and 5), so protecting the leather had to be done. I did think about going with child seat protectors, but then decided to do some DIY. It wasn't to save money or anything, just something to make it work for me.
I went to one of them craft stores (Jo Anns) and bought a 6x6 foot clear plastic table cover (maybe half mm thick). With a pair of scissors and roll of scotch tape, I made me nice covers that are not visible with a glance (when door is opened). The plastic sticks to leather and helps the car seats not to slide around like they usually would on leather. The car seats in turn stick to the plastic cover nicely. Price: $20.

The plastic can be easily taken out and folded in the cargo area (fits right into that pocket on right side) if adults need to ride back there.

The covers I got are nice, my wife likes them too. The work good for pets or kids, however the seatbelt holes are covered by a flap that is velcroed down. The attachment points are the two headrests and the sides of the cover don't wrap or anything.

I true custom cover would be better, but we like these. If you need a picture let me know.
