Who Knew Seat Covers Would Be Such A Big Deal?

Okay, 2022 Pacifica Limited owner here...

I have been looking for some good quality, good protection (waterproof?), nice looking, and of course "reasonably priced" (whatever that means now...) leatherette/neoprene/faux leather seat covers for my van, and it seems to be a difficult task.

To be honest, I haven't actually purchased any yet, because all of the ones I find show headrests that look nothing like mine, and/or say they won't work with the armrests (or don't mention the armrests at all). Then add in the stow-and-go 2nd & 3rd row seats and... yeah.

The only ones I find that I can imagine/assume(?) might work are the boring-black-expensive Mopar ones. And honestly, they definitely don't seem worth it. I don't even know if THEY work with the stow-and-go seats.

II would ideally like to find some that are black leather-looking with blue pinstripes, but I guess at this point I may be getting desperate. I just want to protect my seats now....

Are seat covers just a No-no for Pacificas? Does ANYONE cover their Pacifica seats to protect them? Or should I just plan on replacing the entire seat when the leather wears out? Lol.

Thanks and blessings to all!!

CarID sells CoverKing, but now I buy direct from Coverking. Look for CR Grade Neoprene seat covers (not NeoSupreme). The material is tough, comfortable, water PROOF, stain resistant, easy to clean, and custom fitted (look and feel nice). Over the years I have bought front sets for a 2009 Honda Fit and a 2015 Mazda 6. After about 6 years of wear, I bought a second set for the Fit and then sold it a couple years later. I have just ordered another front set for the 2015 Mazda 6. I love the clean look of the black with red center for the red Mazda 6, and the black with orange center for the orange Fit. It's the same material as used in good quality wet suits and makes your seats look as good as the wet suits make people look. Cost a little more, but worth it. Custom separate head rests, not as some pictures show (one piece)

My 2009 Honda Fit. This is the first set of coverking Neoprene in 2019 after years of wear with dog claw damage to the front of the passenger seat. Some sun fading is seen as this car was parked outside all the time. They held up well and we bought a new set in 2020 and traded in the car in 2022. I just looked it up. The first set was bought in 2014 so that makes them almost 6 years old in these pictures. They are CR GRADE Neoprene if you go to CoverKing or CarID. The shadows on the front of the driver seat are of the steering wheel and a rectangular decal on the windshield.

In this picture you can see the back of the seats with the seat pocket and some of the headrest detail.

I will not get anything else unless it is genuine leather because it wears well and feels good.

The leather on my 2018 Limited still looked great in Aug 2025 when I traded it in. It was the Mocha leather. My wife treats it regularly with leather stuff (ArmorAll Leather Care). Not sure if the Black in a 2022 has the same longevity. The light brown leather in our 2023 and 2025 Pinnacles doesn't look as robust as our 2018's mocha leather. Time will tell. If I see any sign of cracking or that It may need protection, I will go for the neoprene I mentioned earlier to protect them. Otherwise we just like the Leather feel and look better. We just take care of it and enjoy it as it is, but we don't have kids so YMMV. I think I saw genuine leather covers on the Coverking sight but they were pretty pricy. The Coverking Neoprene has arm rests and separate head rests and they claim it is designed to work with all OE. (such as seat mounted side airbags). So you might ask them to make sure they work with stow and go. They worked well with our Fit and Mazda as if they were factory seat covers. The neoprene is a little stretchy and the way they were cut fit the seats like a custom glove.
