Subaru 2019-2024 ForesterRear Seatback Protector Black - J501SSJ310 - Genuine OEM

What a cheap car company. In the 2024 model they no longer include the seat back as part of the all weather package, just the floor mats and the cargo tray. So I had to order one because the fabric of the seat back is going to get destroyed in a car designed for camping and outdoor activities. Each Subaru model is less cool than the one before and I don't like that. They don't even give you the tray for the center console anymore...that's another review, found the perfect one. I'll keep the seat back covers when I get a new lease, hopefully they'll still fit the future models, I can sell it to someone with an older model.

It took some effort to pop the cover into place around the harness anchor points on the back of the backseat, but otherwise easy solo install. I've hauled recycling, bags of gravel, firewood, bricks, military equipment, general household goods, and even heavy planters (with plants in em over 1500 miles). Easy to wipe clean, no scratches, cracks, or breaks. Highly rated

I got tired of putting flattened cardboard boxes over my seatbacks when I purchased items such as plants and bags of topsoil and mulch. Also, I have a trunk caddie that has velcro on the bottom that is difficult to slide over the fabric on the seatback if I need to move it towards the front of the car. Although a bit more expensive than a non-Subaru product, I find the OEM Subaru products to be worth the few extra dollars. The protectors match the Subaru floor mat and were a piece of cake to install. Just remove the headrests first and the installation is very easy.

Finally got one for my 2019 Forester Limited. It has been a great car (bought it new) and I am tired of laying a blanket down every time I go skiing, etc. (skis go inside car). Arrived flat in a flat box so it was easy to install without waiting (some said theirs came rolled up). A bit pricey (there are cheaper alternatives on Amazon) but the car has been good to me so I am reciprocating. Pattern matches that of the cargo mat which came with the car. Also, only time will tell about the durability -- I would have liked more velcro coverage to ensure the hold-down.

I would have liked a little thicker plastic, but it has been working well for months now.

Product was OEM Subaru , very easy install . It was delivered by UPS and arrived 8:00PM and signature required. Amazon is earlier and doesn’t require a signature.

Perfect fit and gives back seats a break if you fold them down and transport stuff.

This is exactly as expected from Subaru... good fit and quality. I'm sure there are some off brands that would work too, but I went for the brand.
