Most people who install a seat back kick mat are solving one problem: the fabric strip below the leather backrest that traps mud, pet hair, and shoe scuffs. But there’s a second spot in the RAV4 that takes a similar beating and never gets talked about — the center console armrest, right where rear passengers brace themselves climbing in and out.
The Spot the 2-Piece Set Doesn’t Cover
The 2-piece set is built for the lower seat back — that’s still the highest-traffic zone, and for most drivers it’s the only protection they need. But if you’ve got kids climbing over the console, a dog that uses it as a step, or you just keep catching scuff marks on the armrest edge, that’s a separate wear zone with its own shape to map.
What the 3-Piece Set Adds
The 3-piece set is the same eco-leather, waterproof lower seat back mats, plus a third piece cut specifically for the console armrest. Same installation — hook-and-loop backing, no tools, done in seconds.
The armrest piece isn’t one-size-fits-all across every RAV4 model year. The console shape changed enough across generations that we laser-mapped three separate versions:
2013–2015
2016–2019
2020–2025
Which One Should You Get?
If the lower seat back is your only pain point, the 2-piece set covers it — no need to pay for a piece you won’t use. If you’re already noticing wear on the console armrest, or you know rear passengers use it as a handhold, the 3-piece set closes that gap in one order instead of two.
Both sets ship free and install in under a minute. You can compare exact pricing and pick your year range on the RAV4 product page, or see the full Toyota lineup for other models.
