Hey All,
New to the forum & new to a Toyota Tacoma. My truck has the vinyl or fake leather seats. I really don't want to wear out the outside front seats bolsters, (sliding my butt in & out of the truck). I hate there is no drivers side "A" pillar grab handle to aid getting in & Out.
My question for the group is would seat covers ruin the original non-cloth seat material?
Thank you, Chris

"My question for the group is would seat covers ruin the original non-cloth seat material?"

Should be quite the opposite. Every set I have removed over the years protected the original covers.

Don't see why they would, the inside of the covers if a fabric/spongy material that's fairly soft, probably make installation a little easier too with less friction.

If you're really worried, send support an email, they're pretty quick on their responses and they'd know better than us.

Just wanted to throw my two cents out there. I was initially very frustrated with installation as the updated video for 4th gen had not been released when I purchased.
I also got an early version that had holes cut in the wrong places for the back seat buttons and I had the zipper break on my front driver’s top cover during installation.
That being said, as much trouble as I initially had with installing once I was directed (by someone from this forum) to a proper installation video I actually didn’t think it was too bad. It just takes adjusting the front seats a few times during the install.
Finally, when I reached out to EKR with pictures of the misplaced button cutouts and the torn zipper they promptly replied and sent me replacements for everything I needed. Replacements were shipped fast. While I was initially frustrated I’ll just say again, in the end not too bad and I received excellent customer service. Most people don’t even notice they aren’t the original seat fabric. I give EKR 5/5.

How do the rear covers fit? I’ve heard they can be hit and miss with previous gen Tacomas, would like to get the rear ones too though if the fit is good.
Also wondering if the rear covers still allow access to the car seat clips.

My rear seat covers fit nicely. I’ll have to check on car seat clips a little later when the sun comes out
