seat covers

[valentino46]

Hello all. can anyone recommend a pair of front seat covers that would be ok for a 2012 avensis tourer please.....  Thanks

I don't use seat covers, but try the following - https://www.micksgarage.com/d/seat-covers/toyota/toyota-avensis/avensis-estate-2009-onwards/products

My reason is because of the airbags. Now most claim to be safe with airbags, but you need to be careful!

if it's the 2012 with active head restraints you can't easily remove the headrest so you need 1 piece covers.

Scott, out of curiosity I checked my '58 plate 2009 MK3 Tourer.

First I used a screwdriver to release the head restraint. 

Then I raised the restraint out of the seat.

You can now see the cables attached to the supports.

Restraint fully removed 

I didn't go any further. This was to show why it's best not to remove the head restraint. 

It seems my car has the active head. My car is TR spec.

Hi Konrad, yes, seat covers with a separate head restraint cover require the head restraint to be fully removed so that the seatback cover can be fitted - not easy on a T27 with active restraints. (the restraints on my 2017 are different from my 2012 though)
