Escape Gear Seat Covers for 200

[TLC2013]

The install is tedious but not too bad. Took me a couple hours, no need to tear anthing apart other then your knuckles while fishing under the seat for the straps lol.

Heres an install video

Thanks for the video. With all the electronics wires etc do you just fish the straps through or under them? I got the flap separated but I don’t see how to feed the straps through without damaging something

That flap is a royal PIA. Should be smooth sailing now. Its impossible to stay celar of everything. I did my best to avoid what I could but there's no way around it. Something like this worked for me.

Cross-poast for anyone looking for an alternative install option for the center console arm rest. (2008 LC 200)

For the LX owners wondering how they fit. 2013 and the fit is great! I was told by equipt/escape gear that they can make them to cover the screens or flat like mine (if you removed them). Mine are the grey color, not the charcoal tough canvas.

Also, used this in the install:

Flexible Grabber Claw Pick Up Reacher Tool With 4 Claws Bendable Hose Pickup Reaching Assist Tool for Litter Pick, Home Sink, Drains, Toilet (35.4inch) Amazon product ASIN B07Y75N3DW
Which made it simple to reach the straps under the seat.

I used a wooden paint stirrer on the tundra to shove the straps under the seat. Worked like a champ. Not the 200 but they look good on a Tundra too.

@Weedhopper is that the charcoal color?

 

[Weedhopper]

Yes. Came right from Equipt in about two weeks. They have some on the shelf.

 

[Wafflroo]

@Toyoland66 expect the 200 series covers to take longer than that. I ordered on Aug 31 and received them Monday the 8th of Nov.

 

[Weedhopper]

He just got a couple containers full of stuff. In the email video they (Equipt) shows a wall of boxes of covers.

Maybe he will get lucky. A phone call will answer the question.

My second row doesn't look right when I compare them to Paul's pictures which are the bottom three...

Installed a set in my 2016 before the holiday road trip. Super pleased with the results.

I’m on the fence with these… do they fit tight enough to keep from feeling them alive about on top of the seats? I have a 4 and 5 year old in the back seat in car seats so I feel like I need to do the rear at least. This isn’t a daily driver and I’m guessing around 3-5k miles a year but I wanna keep the seats looking good long term.

Assuming you’re talking about the wrinkles and whether you feel them on your butt or back. I haven’t noticed them in the few weeks I’ve had them. Very happy with the feel of them while driving.

Yeah, I’m talking about that and if there is any play or slippage between the cover and seat. Having searched these are the best option and no seat cover is perfect…I get that, but I’m just trying to feel out the results before dropping that kinda coin.

I was worried about that too. They put tight and fit well. These are by far the best covers I’ve ever used.

I need to route my straps on the front seats between the cushions and plastic trim like you did. Was it much harder? It sure looks better.

Agreed. Well worth the wait and the higher price point. Escape Gear knows what they’re doing and Equipt (Kristin, I think?) does a great job middle manning the commmunications and back and forth.

EDIT: As an additional note, I saw this post from Escape Gear’s IG page. For those considering placing an order, it looks like December 3rd is the deadline prior to their holiday stop work period.
