I ended up buying the coverado rears for my truck. They will be ok as covers for a rear seat that gets little usage but not good for kids or dogs going in and out. The grey doesn't match our interiors as well as the Carhartt covers do, as you can see in these pics. My fronts are Carhartt.
The instructions tell the story
The upper seat section has no straps or hooks to hold it in place. You zipper the top snug around the head rear bars and tuck the edges around the sides as well as you can.
The center belt has no way to come through the cover to be used except maybe trying to use it through the armrest access? The armrest and cupholders are still easily used by pulling up the Velcro cover and rolling the excess into the vacancy where the armrest tucks away.
This shows the color differences. Fronts are 2 year old Carhartt and rears are just out of the box and still wrinkled coverado
So my thoughts are that if you just need a heavy material cover for boxes and stuff being out on the back seat, or to protect against sun fading, the coverados will be great but if you have kids and dogs getting in and out regularly, the seat upper half of the cover probably won't protect the edges of your seat as it will flip over during ingress.
Another odd little thing I just thought of. The lower cover has straps that hook under the seat but they are not long enough to actually hook to anything on our truck rear seats since we have finished bottoms in the rear seat. I had to hook the outside hook to the one on the center that was nearest it so that's not great and hopefully it keeps the bottom on. The good thing is though the part that you tuck through the middle of the seat upper and lower cushions hooks very well to the brackets under the seat upper so that will not pull out unless you unhook it. Just the lower cover edges may come up from the leading edge of the seat bottom sometime.
