Needed something in a hurry and couldn't find what I was looking for. When I leave work, I'm filthy. Wife starts thinking on it, and says hang on. Comes back with a hooded pull over sweatshirt and a bath towel. Proceeds to put hoodie over seat backwards, slipping the hood over the head rest. Laid towel on seat and tucked it in where the seat and the back meet. Works great and it's easy to take everything off to wash. Sorry, no pics of my amazingly hot wife.

TLDR.....old guy improvises car seat covers and didn't follow the rules.

I did the old towel seat cover for years.
Thes days,, I keep a Duluth seat cover tucked in the door for when I might need it.
I always have a couple cheap fleece blankets tucked away for similar emergencies.

Honest question. If you know you are dirty leaving work and are concerned with your interior, why would you not have bought seat covers already?

Yep, still need something for the back. Thought about the blanket idea, but, no seat belt cut outs. May just end up getting a universal rear seat cover. Need something easy on/off and machine washable.

Op, according to the images on Honda's website, your side airbags come out of the sides of the seats. Might wanna rethink wrapping them up with hoodies.

Too bad no pics; sounds like a good idea.
Wouldn't mind seeing "amazingly hot wife", either.

Well that’s a bold assumption in this day and age assuming it couldn’t be both.

Been doing the sweatshirt trick for decades. A little over 3 decades to be exact. I thought everybody that worked construction or some other dirty job knew about this.

Never worked construction. Sorta concerned about the side airbag thing now. Am I going to die?

Seems like the simple solution would be to cut a slit in the side of the sweatshirt to match the airbag, maybe leave a small spot connected at the bottom? Not sure how well it would stay in place, maybe Velcro the slit together in a few spots?
