    I ordered some and for the front received one seat cover that is a single piece plus the headrest, and the other is two pieces plus the headrest. The single piece has a LOT of extra fabric - making it gap. I emailed CK and they essentially told me to lean the seat back, tuck it in, and then put the seat back up right. This still leaves a gap of air behind the seat cover where your back goes. Just wondering what you have received - are they supposed to be 2 pieces plus the headrest? Because that one fits very well.

    Do you have bucket seats? The covers should be the same for both sides

    If so, It sounds like a manufacture defect. Take some comparison photos and see of you can send them to rep. If defective, they should replace.

    OP, When I ordered coverkings they sent a similar setup, and I had the same concerns about the quality of fit/finish. After a phone call or three, they sent out a replacement set, which ended up being a set of rear seat covers :frusty: then they sent another set of fronts with the same issue. The differences in the look of the fronts, coupled with questionable quality and poor customer service left me with no other choice than to return them for a refund.

    Purchased some Wet Okles and although more expensive, they are worth it.

    I got a set from them in January. On my set, the reason the passenger seat is two piece is because the passenger seat is the fold-flat model. When I ordered them that was one of the questions I had to answer to get the correct models. It fits fine. I like mine.

    Both sides of mine with the buckets and the fold-flat were two-piece. Kind of a pain to install trying to force my hand down into the space between the upright and the seat. But they stay secure once you get the velcro straps on. And they clean up nice in the washer/dryer. Maybe some spot remover before going into the washer . . . .

    Heck, $59 what's there not to like?

    Yes, they're bucket seats. It took me about 4-6 weeks to get them. Seemed like forever!

    The last info from the rep is that "the reason for the two different types of covers is because the manufacturer built the seats different. There is a bar stopping the access point between the lean back and cushion on one side and not the other."

    Couple that with what Bobcape said, and it seems I've got them on the wrong seats, which may be part of the issue. I told the rep I could possibly have them on the wrong seats since there was no indication on them which was driver or passenger. So, I'm going to swap them this weekend & see how it goes. My passenger seat is the flat fold version, so that would make more sense using the 2-piece there.

    ETA: I did send the rep pictures during previous emails over the last few days.

    I figured I should update this for any future people who may do a search. I switched the front seat covers and they fit SO much better. It's been a couple weeks & seems to be good. Now...I get to work on trying to get the back covers tightened up. Just getting them ON was enough frustration after swapping the front ones & getting them done. I have literally decided that if someone spills something on them, they will be responsible for putting them back on after they're washed LOL.

    So...since it will be a gorgeous weekend in North Florida, I will be working on straightening those out and tightening up the back covers this weekend. Yay me! :)
