I just want to follow up on these covers. I have put about 10k miles on the Jk, take 3 dogs to the dog park weekly, go fishjng, shooting, and hunting with a ton of gear, spilled coffee, soda, Chinese food, put coolers in the back, hauled wood, had the top down in the houston, bained on, etc.
I sprayed the seat covers with scotch guard after installing, and they look new. I get comments all the time, and it is by far the most used, abused, and best mod I've done to the Jk. Worth every penny. Every single penny. Save up and get these. They are worth it for sure.
I don't know if it was the scotchgard, the covers, or the combination of the two, but the pool of coffee that sat for about 10 minutes before I could get towels wiped right up. Nothing got through to the seats below.
Get these. Made in the USA, best upgrade ever.

Front covers just delivered, still waiting on the backs to arrive. It was getting dark when I started the install but had to stop because I couldn't get the velcro flaps from the front-top and front-bottom to push through the split in the seat cushions. Admittedly, I have hulk hands but DAMN that is a tight squeeze. I couldn't push them through so I looped rope through those little tabs to attempt to pull from behind towards the back. I was pulling so hard I felt like it would tear if I pulled any harder. The tabs make it through but there is still quite a bit of slack in the front seat, definitely not slipping through as it looks like it has for everyone else. Any idea what I could be doing wrong or how to install that step any better? Thanks guys.
PS: Other than frustration to install, the quality and look is amazing!

Yep, PITA. I had to borrow my neighbor's needle fingers to get them to go through.....LOL

I was able to get back on these today in good lighting. Still tough but using some plier handle to push through, I got it to work. Still ran into another problem though... The headrest covers do not fit. It's not even close to fitting so I know this isn't my mistake. It slips over them but even with it completely tight and pulled all the way over the headrest, the velcro connectors are 4 inches away from reaching each other. Any chance that they sent me a past years headrest cover by mistake? Or, since my jeep is leather interior, did Jeep make a different shape headrest for the the leather seats, deeper than the cloth seat head rests? Thanks for all the suggestions on the other ones. Everything looks amazing, I just wish the headrests would work. I'm also going to ask Northridge since they shipped these to me, but you guys always seem to have the best answers.

I have a 2012. Northridge says they think they sent me the headrests for 2007-2010. They say they will handle it but I'm waiting to hear back from them on a few issues.
