FAQ

Are these waterproof? Canvas is highly water-resistant; neoprene (where available) is fully waterproof and great for wetsuit / dog / muddy-passenger duty.

Will they fit my 4Runner Limited with the side airbag? Yes — the covers include a side airbag-compatible seam designed to release on deployment.

How long do they take to fit? About 20 minutes per seat first time. Easier the second time.
