I wish subaru already had these by default
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

Work great, but let them unroll and flatten or you’ll be frustrated
Installed perfectly after letting the pieces heat in the sun to unroll. I guess to save packaging the mats were rolled tightly into a smaller box. Be patient and let them flatten in the sun before installing. Otherwise they fit and look great and protect the seat backs from dirty cargo, as well as make it easier to slide items in, like lumber or large boxes.

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

OEM and fits well
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.

Should Have Purchased These Years Ago
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.

OEM Subaru is the way to go!
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.

A little work to install, but protects the seatbacks
I bought these for my 2023 Subaru Forester Limited. They fit very well, but take a little effort to install especially around the child seat buckle. I recommend laying out in the sun before installing to flatten them out (they come rolled up). I also recommend using a screwdriver to slightly lift up on the child seat buckle to facilitate sliding the seatback protectors underneath. This process is a little trick as the Velcro works against you. This may be easier w/ two people. Beyond that, these are great for protection the seatbacks from heavy, abrasive objects or wet gear.

Fits perfectly, easy to install
I have had the seat back protectors on my vehicle for a little over a year now, and they are wonderful. I am always hauling groceries, items from Home Depot and wet dogs from the park - and these things are fabulous. I don’t have to worry about scratches or damage to the back of my seats. They also clean easily.I have a 2020 Subaru Forester Touring. These fit perfectly, I installed them myself easily, and they were so much cheaper than the dealership price. I highly recommend. One photo shows without the seat protectors and the other photos show with the seat protectors. (*this did not come with the cargo floor mat - I already had that. Highly recommend that as well)
