MSA Canvas Seat Covers/ toyota genuine

[wooley]

i thought it was $185 for each pair of seats, so for the whole vehicle 3*$185

They are quite a bit cheaper than toyota at $185 and after the sales people sent me a couple of pics I thought id give them a try.

Hi Dart,
Do they supply for all the three rows or just the two rows for the $185 price?
Thanks,
Melbo

After some thinking and searching I have gone a different way. I had a good look at the MSA and Black duck canvas covers and while their quality is great I felt I wanted a cover that looks and feels more OEM. Inland Australia (who make the wetseat covers) manufacture a lot of custom seat covers for Toyota and a few other car makers, so they are airbag compatiable. While they cannot supply exact the colour scheme as the dealers covers (supplier agreements) the tell me the quality is the same.They stated they could make a set for me using the colour scheme that they use for the 200 series covers. They are quite a bit cheaper than toyota at $185 and after the sales people sent me a couple of pics I thought id give them a try. They will take a couple of weeks to get, and i'll post up my opinion after i get them. Thanks for all the help guys.

does anyone use/like the black duck canvas seat covers?

I have black duck on my back seat. Nice snug fit and provision for the middle arm rest to operate correctly. No complaints here.

I Have Escape Gear Seat Covers by Black Widow. They are great, $760 (last year) for Front n Middle rows with head rests included. They fit really tight n feel nice to sit on for extended journeys

Thanks for all the advice guys. Im going to have a look at the wetsuit material ones tomorrow (thanks JoshF) and the msa ones. The only thing that puts me off the MSA ones is the cost (I got quoted about $450 for the front set), but from all the replys they seem more than worth it. Decisions Decisions......

I have had Toyota covers on my hilux and MSA on my Prado, both are fine but I noticed the MSA are not as cold on a chilly morning and abit easier to clean marks off.

My 2 cents,

I installed these custom made seat covers which I purchased from ebay for $200 delivered. It's a full set for front, middle and rear seats. I am very happy with the fit on the seats and have had quite a few comments from friends about how good they look. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-PR...item53e7760408

We have the MSA covers on both thee front and rar seats in the prado and the fit and comfort is second to none we have also purchased the addirional add on lumber support for the front seats from MSA and tha has improved the prado front seats on long trips with the benefit of being bale to alter and adjust the lumber 'ballons' at will to suit changes in the day. We have balck duck seat covers (again canvas) in the colorado and they are like chalk and cheese compared to the MSA covers. MSA are a soft coton canvas and fit the seat perfectly whilst the balck ducks are pretty stiff canvas on form to themselves as opposed to forming to fit the seat. Both have there places in the sheme of things but given both cost about the same in the long run would go MSA all the way.

X 2 for the MSA covers. They are a pain in the arse to fit, but they are gold.

Wetseat make a wet suit/neoprene seat cover also, available via TJM. I have just switched over to a set last week after some cheapo cloth ones. I believe they do custom fit as well as general fit covers.

Hi All
I'm looking at getting a set of seat covers for my prado and I'm wondering if anyone has got a set of MSA or Toyota covers for their car. If so, are you happy with the fit, feel, quality ect.. Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've got the genuine Toyota Covers. Purchased them at the same time I boughtthe car new along with a host of other gear. The Toyota covers are fine. Theconsist of a main strip that covers the majority of the cover that you sit onalong with two small strips on the sides (pretty much the same in appearance asthe MSA except the colours swap around on the MSA). The main strip is a woven fabricand the weave is reasonably tight although it looks loose but I can imaginethat grit particles will make there way through the weave and sit between theseat cover and seat. The covers sit nice and tight so there is no loosematerial hanging around although to hold them in place a combination of zipsand Velcro are used. The zips will unzip somewhat over time and the visible Velcrolooks pretty daggy but there is only a few areas where it is visible.

My vehicle is about 6 years old and they are not showing any problems andhave been on the entire time. No tears or holes, but a slight amount of wear onthe seats where you sit but I guess that should be expected over time. If youare just doing city driving then I can't see an issue with the Toyota covers althoughif I did things again I would probably look at a canvas cover. MSA are Canvascovers and there are a number of different manufacturers around for Canvas:MSA, Black Duck, Dingo, RM Williams, Canvas Seat Cover Co.

Whoever you go with my advice would be to make sure you get a seat coverthat is designed for your vehicle rather than a generic "fit anyvehicle" cover as the generic covers will be baggy and loose. The canvascovers will never be fully taut anyway but if you get them specific to youvehicle then they will look good and fit properly.
