Anybody got any experience with the rear seat cover and/or the cargo liner? I'm considering getting one or both of those items, and I'm wondering if they work and fit well. Anybody use them both together? I'm told they can both be used at the same time, as long as the seat cover is installed first. Thanks!

 

I really like the cargo liner in my TSX wagon (same basic design). It keeps crap off the rear carpet and protects the rear bumper when getting things in or out.

 

We have the cargo liner. It saved us a few weeks ago when the milk we got from Costco spilled. The milk was retained in the trunk tray, and all we had to do was pour it out and rinse.

 

We purchased both the cargo liner and rear seat cover for our RDX purchased in July of 2013. We are very pleased with the cargo liner but are a little disappointed in the rear seat covers. They work very well and look like they will last forever, but they are much harder to keep clean than the custom fitted aftermarket canvas covers we had in our 2000 Lexus RX that was traded in for the RDX. Also, dog hair sticks to the new seat covers and comes off on any jackets or other clothing that we put in the back seat. If we had it to do over I would purchase the fitted canvas covers.

 

Cargo liner we love.
The rear seat covers I didn't opt for, we have a baby on the way and while it will protect the rear seats i feel like the in and out of the chair etc will ruin the cover

 

I prefer and purchased the cargo tray because it's rubber and easy to clean. The fit is perfect and I love the "lip" around the tray to keep smaller things from rolling out and liquid in.

 

Musty - there is a difference between the cargo liner and the cargo tray. The cargo tray will contain spills while the liner is more akin to putting a plastic sheet down - it'll contain some things but milk would still spill over the edges because the liner has no lip like the tray.

I moved some bags of mulch and one must have had a leak. It was very easy to brush out the mulch from the liner.

 

I have the cargo liner (not the tray) and so far it's been great. A few caveats, but overall the positives well outweigh the negatives.

Pros:
-Pretty easy to put in place and lots of velcro tabs to keep it in secure.
-While the one side is fabric, the underside is rubber lined so nothing gets through. Any dirt or dog hair has been easy to sweep up or wipe out so far, hasn't been ground-in, and small spills or dampness never pass through to the actual carpet underneath.
-It goes up the walls a little so the only exposed areas are either lined or hard plastic, and the fold-out lip protecting the top of the bumper is a nice touch.
-It takes 10 seconds to yank it out if you really want to scrub it down or wash it.

Cons:
-There are a few baggy areas toward the tailgate side. Not really a big deal, though in my case a little bundle of dog hair can build up behind the liner in those areas and get ground into the actual carpet underneath.
-It complicates things slightly if you need to get to the spare or otherwise use the spare area for storage and can take a minute or two to get all the little velcro pieces stuck back in the right spots.
-It won't really contain large liquid spills as it can still get around the sides of it and between the seats if they're laid down.
-It remains to be seen how well the velcro stays stuck to the carpeting in the cargo area. Since it's more a furry kind of carpet back there, the velcro is starting to "fuzz" up the carpet where I've had to pull it a few times. I don't think it'll be too much of an issue unless you are repeatedly pulling the thing out

 

I got the weathertech cargo liner and works great..especially since my dog spends all the time back there when traveling....do not worry about water spilling over etc ...

 

Thought the liner and tray were the same thing. We have the tray in the RDX and TSX. They should come standard on all cars.

 

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

 

Absolutely. A tray or liner is a necessity.

 

Hi everyone, Just registered on site as a new 2014 owner!! Wasn't sure where to post this, but just found out about free shipping from Acura Bernardi parts, which already offers some of the lowest prices for accessories. Wait until Cyber Monday for free shipping: http://acura.bernardiparts.com/Cyber...-Shipping.aspx

 

Check out Curry Acura, low prices and always free shipping.

 

The dealer where we bought the car won't match the internet prices I've seen other dealers sell accessories for -- not even close. I was a little surprised they wouldn't play.

 

I purchased the cargo cover, cargo tray and cargo net from dchautomotiveparts.com. They had the best prices I could find online and I'm very pleased with these products.

 

Curry Acura is cheaper and free shipping.

 

I went ahead and ordered the rear seat cover ($184) and the cargo liner ($136) from Acura of Peoria, AZ (http://www.oemacuraparts.com/). They have a shipping special going on with the following codes:

SWOOSH - half price ground shipping for orders $100-$699


SPYHUNTER - free ground shipping on all orders over $700

I found their prices cheaper than other online dealers and their customer service to be pretty good. With the shipping discount, the total was only about $6 more than I would have paid on another site that offers free shipping.

The items arrived yesterday, and I installed them today.





The cargo liner went in first. It bunches up towards the seat backs a little, but otherwise looks about as expected. I took some pics to share, since I couldn't find decent, real-world photos for a 2014 RDX anywhere online.








The seat cover went in next, and the two items are designed to be compatible with one another. The installation took some effort. Getting the covers over the headrests might have been the hardest part, but getting the velcro through the crack between the bottom cushion and the seat back took a bit of pulling and pushing too. I likened the installation to putting one of those black bras on the front end of a car. It might have been easier if it had been a warm, sunny day, but it was cold and gray, so the seat covers weren't naturally expanding.





Like the cargo liner, the fit is okay. The gaps around the seat belt buckles are a bigger than I'd hoped, but maybe the cover will stretch and conform a bit over time.

As you can see from this picture, the seat cover goes over the cargo liner on the seat backs.

And for anyone wondering what the WeatherTech floor mats look like in an RDX, here ya go:

 

Thank you Murrow for the great picks and advice on installation!! Great Job!!

 

"I prefer and purchased the cargo tray because it's rubber and easy to clean. The fit is perfect and I love the "lip" around the tray to keep smaller things from rolling out and liquid in."


Ditto here, saved my back a few times. Easy to remove and hose off.

 

I got the back seat cover but not the cargo cover. Will I have trouble with the fasterner on the back of the seats? How do they hook up back there without the velcro provided by the cargo cover. (I got the cargo tray)

 

In your case, I believe the velcro on the seat cover will adhere to the carpeted area on the back of the seat.

I'm definitely glad I got the seat cover. Without it, my rear-facing toddler would be beating up on the leather with her feet.

 

Thank You @Murrow for the great pics. Really appreciate it!

 

Thanks for the reply and the awesome pics Murrow!

 

I just istalled the OEM all season mats, cargo tray and back seat cover and I love the look!! I'm debating on wether I get the wood grain and the upgraded wheels. Any opinions??

 

Sorry these pics are not mine, I meant to quote your text only

 

Acc20yrs --

Was your installation experience similar to mine? Do you also find that there are some gaps in the seat cover?

 

Have the weathertech fronts, backs and cargo tray. They have been a lifesaver up here this winter!

From Curry we have grabbed the side door trim, trunk protective strip, cargo net and parcel shelf. Oh and some TPMS sensors for my winters.

 

Absolutely, I'm still trying to figure out why they had those openings at the end of the seat cushion edges! The fit is not that great on the bottom piece but I find the backs and headrests fit ok.

 

I am so happy this is my first new car in many years and also I got to install almost every accessory. I have the running boards, roof rack with cross bars, mud flaps, OEM all season rubber mats, rear cargo tray, rear cargo cover and OEM back seat cover.
I'm only missing the wood trim (which I dont care for in this car), the tow hitch (don't care for it either),the door strips (not sure of the name), Diamond cut wheels (too expensive at $2300 more or less) and the rear bumper applique. All in all it's a nice little truck for commuting to and from work everyday. I'm in the north east so it's been good with this crazy winter

 

I just ordered from curry Acura and it wasn't free shipping.... But the price was fair

 

I was just quoted over $300 for the body side moulding and door edge guards and it does not include installation!!! Sounds like too much $$ anyone else agrees??

 

I might just order then from DelRay Acura parts and install them myself. Also, the dealer ripped me off today $69 for oils and filter change and tire rotation!! I think they won't see me for a while so angry what a rip-off!

 

What dealer? Which oil did they use? Curry always had free shipping, wonder what happened there?

 

I rather not say cause one never knows who's reading these threads. But it seems like it is regular 5W20 oil not synthetic. If it is synth I understand the higher price but if its regular oil I'd be pissed!! I might take it to a honda dealer next time, same oil, cheaper prices! I can buy my own coffee and bagels!

 

I was doing that for awhile, the Honda dealer can't so Acura warranty work or so they said. No bagels and coffee at my Acura dealer. Must be nice.

 

So after a while the Honda dealer refused to service your Acura stating they can't guarrantee Acura work?

 

They will service Acura products, they just won't do any TSB or warranty work on them.

 

I want to report on my seat covers after two months of installing! I LOVE THEM! They have adjusted to the contours of the seat, any wrinkles have dissapeared and they have saved my seat a few times from spills and crums left behind by my kids!! Very happy!! I ordered mine from DelRay Acura parts and saved a bundle. Don't go to the dealer it will cost you an arm and a leg!

 

How did it feel when sitting with the covers on? You are probably not the user but that's what I have been wondering..
