Walmart car cover and seat covers... and other accessories

[Mead]

Anyone try the universal aka semi-custom fit car covers from Wally World? They have everything but size 1 (liftback size) at my store so I'm searching. How do they fit?

Seatcovers, any luck with Wally World brand? they have $20 pairs and more expensive singles. I like the black $20s but they don't really match the interior or do they?

Pics pics pics if you got them :headbang:

[churp]

My daughter loved the fake cheata fur singles!!!!! So now I'm COOL!!! Actually they fit pretty good, haven't taken the time yet to actually tie them down yet but they've stayed in place all by themselve now for 2weeks.

Anybody else have the cheata fur ones....or is everybody following the crowd????:thumbup:

well I do have their fuzzy dice (black to match the exterior) :cool:

do you have any pics? I hear neoprene fad like crazy

I bought the chapski 20 black seat covers from wally world and they fit great, yes they catch some lint and will prob wear out within the year, but thats the price you pay for having perfect seats, I also bought a black beach towel to lay down on my back seat, it cost me 4 bucks. Also make sure and buy either some black rubber or clear rubber floormats to put over your factory floormats, it will keep your carpet in great shape.

If I put seat covers on my front seats, will I be blocking side airbags if they are put into play?

[Mead]

yeah the first thing I did is replace the floormats (WM $14.74)... the factory 5 piece is outragously overpriced so they're in storage. (and they're not great quality either). In the winter I go for the heavy rubber mats

seats with side airbags... I wouldn't put covers over those.

Dude, those seat covers better give me an Asian message and a "happy ending" for that price! That's insane.

Seats with side airbags can't have covers, or the airbags won't deploy properly.

What about Fun Bags?!

[aephilli]

Got the PENGUIN ones from wallyworld (walmart), they don't tie down right, but fit well enough that they don't move

YES. Seat covers are a definite NO NO if have airbags. Lots of people trying to find a solution for this.

Luckily im in a low-safety non airbag model.

[redyaris]

Got my covers today. Installing now...pics to come in my garage.

If you order these check them carefully....the pax seat cover had the lifter knob thing opening stitched on the wrong side!!!

I called the vendor and they are replacing it for me...funny thing is they said they had stitched 3 Yaris orders wrong this week alone! I think I would be firing a sewing machine operator or reprogramming the computer on the thing.

YR, they were expensive alright! As I view it though, id rather put the money into my interior than bolt on something to the engine that costs as much or more that kills my mileage and my warranty!

Lucky unless you get hit from the side :eek:

[redyaris]

Yeah then i'll be one of a few Yarii owners in Heaven (or Hell)! This is why I sit an extra 20-30 seconds at every red light and stop sign.

[thomasward00]

From a bad experience I always give a couple of extra seconds before taking off from a Red light, you never know who is gonna run it... Remember guys 95% of driving is watching out for the other person.

i got cheap seat covers from walmart. the one on the drivers side (MY side!) laster over a year. the one on the passenger side ripped right at the stiching where the seat connects to the back from all my plus size friends! i'll just get some more cheap ones. i got some from A.J. Wright for $7. i like getting cheap ones. that way i can change to design every year or so when i get tired of it or it rips!

[DandiDani]

weve had our seat covers from walmart for a couple years now and theyve been through the washer/dryer several times too. they still look brand new.

I bought a $20 2 piece set from walmart, it has a two tone color, light grey in the center, and darker grey around the edges. It fits fine, lol they're universal fit. I've attached photos, sorry if they're offset I wasn't really planning on taking pictures of the seats at the time but you get the idea. Haha I get a kick out of getting inexpensive things.

The one thing that doesn't seem to fit are these chrome hubcaps i bought from walmart, its like the inset of the caps were too deep for my 15 inch steel wheels.

[Yaris Hilton]

Usually the hubcaps have a steel spring ring that fits in one of two or three different height slots in the tabs around the outside. You may have it in the wrong set of slots. My luck's been bad with losing those things, though. That's why I'm running bare now.

Regarding seat covers/side air bags:::::.Either Scotch guard your seats or just put partial covers on.....where they only cover the part you actually sit/lean -up against.........i'd say scotch guard though...easier with less worry.

[Thai_Dang]

Nah I had the steel rings, lol hard to lose them when they're new in the box. Its just that the wheel covers seem to be a tad too small, or my rims popped out too much in the center, but it was like trying to fit a size 34 person into size 30 pants. The wheel covers didn't reach from corner to corner. On a side note, I would like to run bare but with a chrome center cover, chrome lugs and a chrome circular rim that I saw somebody else had in the forum. Been too lazy to query ebay for those items though.

A chrome center cover's nice. The "beauty rings" are butt ugly IMO. Actually, when I got my Yaris I really wanted to pull off the wheel covers and put "baby moon" hubcaps in the center, but the wheels don't have the necessary bumps inside the center dish to hold hubcaps. Someone made a bracket held by the lug nuts to hold his baby moons on, but that's an added complication. So I'm just letting the four chrome lug nuts be my "center decoration."

[frog13]

They do have a nice reflection in the moonlight...LOL.

Well, here's the other walmart accessories:

1. "leather" shift knob - $6, universal fit, I have auto tranny
2. chrome wheel covers - $22
3. pedal covers - $13
4. tint - lol... i tried and failed, will be returning the tint kit, but accept the loss of $10 tint film.

I'll be the first to admit that the wheel covers look silly, but hey, the yaris looks silly hahaha I'm all for the flamboyant, cheese covers! The shift knob fits great though, looks great and is much larger than the stock auto shift knob (which is unusually small) so it fits more comfy in my hand. The pedal covers looks good too surprisingly.
