Seat Covers for MAZDA BT50 B32P SERIES 11/2006 ? 11/2011 DUAL CAB CHASSISC REAR BENCH WITH A/REST CHARCOAL TRAILBLAZER

A rear bench with a fold-down centre armrest is the awkward one. Generic covers bridge straight over the armrest recess, so the arm either will not drop or drags the fabric down with it. This charcoal Trailblazer set is patterned for that bench in the 11/2006 to 11/2011 BT-50 dual cab chassis, armrest included.

The armrest is the whole fitting problem

Anything covering a split bench has to allow for the armrest folding out of the backrest and back in flush. The supplier lists this as a rear-bench set with an armrest for the 11/2006 to 11/2011 build window, against DX, DX+ and SDX trims. Side lace-up cords let you draw the skirting in around the base so the cover holds its line instead of creeping forward every time somebody slides across. Canvas backing and side skirting run down the sides of the bench rather than stopping at the seam.

18 oz cotton canvas, latex-coated

Cotton canvas at 18 oz is a heavy cloth — stiff at first, softening as it is used, and thick enough that dog claws and dropped tools do not go straight through to the trim. The supplier states the waterproofing comes from a latex coating rather than a spray-on finish, and separately describes the canvas as fire retardant, with a Smart Guard finish it says holds off staining, wet and sun damage. Those are the supplier's descriptions; no standard, rating or test report is published alongside them, so weigh them accordingly. High-density polyurethane foam behind the face adds padding and a thermal break.

The series codes here do not line up

The title calls this a B32P series truck. The supplier's own opening line calls the same vehicle a UN series. The build dates agree at 2006 to 2011, so use those and check them on your compliance plate. The title also carries an obvious typo, "CHASSISC", where it means dual cab chassis.

Key features

• Bench with armrest: patterned around the fold-down centre armrest instead of covering over it.
• 18 oz cotton canvas: heavy enough to take claws, boots and gear sliding across the bench.
• Latex-coated: the supplier attributes the waterproofing to the coating, not to a topical treatment.
• Lace-up side cords: tension the skirting so the cover stays put under repeated sliding.
• Pockets front, side and rear: three placements listed, useful on a bench that has no console of its own.

Worth checking before the bench is covered

• Airbags: a rear bench sits clear of most front airbag hardware, but check your own vehicle — where a BT-50 backrest houses a module, it fires through a deliberately weakened stitch line. No test, standard or certifying authority has been published behind these covers, so get it verified by the seller or a trim shop before covering any seat carrying a module, and leave the airbag warning label uncovered.
• Front seats are not in this pack: this is a rear-bench set only, so do not order it expecting a full-cab result.
• Date range: the title shows a corrupted character between the dates; it reads 11/2006 to 11/2011.

Check the armrest configuration on your own bench against the photos before you buy — it is the detail that decides whether this one fits.
