Used as a work ute with materials/kids in the back seat. Have been great, no tears/rips/cuts, seem very durable, easy to clean, have faded a bit but still 100% serviceable.

Nearly all of these people have the hooks fitted the wrong way around , they are relying on the retainer to hold the chain into the hook .
