Backrest Mats Kick Mats for 2024 2025 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe - 2nd Row

In this review of the backrest mats for the 2024-2026 Hyundai Santa Fe bench seat, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, custom-fit protector for families and pet owners who want to keep the 2nd row seatbacks clean and damage-free. The reviewer found the fit accurate for bench-seat Santa Fe models, the TPE material durable and waterproof, and the triple-fixation system effective at preventing slippage. If you need a low-maintenance way to shield rear seatbacks from kicks, stains and pet wear, these mats are worth considering.

Key Features

• Custom fit: Designed specifically for 2024, 2025 and 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe bench seats, the mats align with seat contours for a tidy, OEM-like appearance.
• Full coverage: The 2nd row seatback protectors cover the carpeted back area completely to prevent kick footprints, scuffs and pet drool from reaching the upholstery.
• All-weather TPE: Made from odorless, waterproof TPE, the material stands up to hot and cold conditions and wipes clean with a damp towel or rinse.
• Triple fixation: Hook and loop fasteners, elastic ropes and custom buckles secure the mats so they stay in place during daily use.
• Complementary system: When paired with matching floor mats, 3rd row protectors or a cargo mat, the set protects the entire vehicle interior from dirt and wear.
• Precision fit process: JOULARISE used 3D laser scanning to tailor the shape for a close fit on compatible bench-seat models.

Who It's For

This product is ideal for parents, pet owners and anyone who frequently carries children or animals in the 2nd row of a Hyundai Santa Fe bench-seat configuration. It suits owners of SE, SEL, XRT and Limited trims and works for both hybrid and gas models as long as the vehicle has a bench second row rather than captain chairs.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of Santa Fe models with captain chairs in the 2nd row or shoppers seeking decorative, fabric-style covers; this TPE protector prioritizes durable, waterproof protection over luxury upholstery looks.
