Utility seat cover - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

venturaII · 01-29-2020, 12:29 PM

So, I used to carry my medium sized (~55 pounds, and tall-ish) dog around in a second vehicle (small SUV), but I recently no longer have that option, so I need to start using my FR-S. Not really happy about it, but it is what it is. So in an effort to keep the car as clean as possible I'd like to get a back seat cover, but as we all know, the back seat setup in our cars is not what I'd consider typical...the average generic cover won't fit well, I'd think..

Does anyone already do this, and what product(s) are you using?

Thanks in advance.

I put a couple towels on seat area of the back seat, then stretch a fitted bottom sheet over the entire back seat and tuck in the extra. Sure its not as fancy as a dedicated cover, but it was cheap and washes easy. I have a black fitted sheet. It serves its purpose and doesn't look terrible.

I take my dog to the dog park at least once a week. She loves riding in the car.

Yeah, a cheap dropcloth from the hardware store would accomplish the same, but I was hoping there was more of a fitted and waterproof solution without breaking the bank...

I just googled "waterproof back seat cover dog" Found a bunch of products that might be what you are looking for. I just used a bottom sheet, because I had a black twin sized one in my closet.

Sometimes I use two memory foam bathmats, under the sheet as a waterproof barrier, when it is really wet.

You can get back seat covers that use the head rest of the back seat go down to the seat across and are attached to the back of the front head rest. I use one from Duluth trading in my truck. I think I just saw one at Walmart.
You will have to unclip to move the seat forward for dog entry.
