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.

Just installed mine today SWEET product.... Was expecting a nightmare reading some posts installing but pretty much EASY PEASY lol.
Slid the bottom part on first using a tip from a fellow jeeper on UTUBE.... because the Velcro sticks and makes it harder to slide under/between the seat and back rest part slide a thick plastic bag under first and no hang ups with velcro getting stuck.... also making holes for headrest easy as well..... It cuts easy so cut slow.

Going to send the complete set back because the stitching also doesn't match my fronts. I love them and hopefully it won't be a long turnaround to get the correct ones. My fronts have the grey stitching and I would like to stay with that as seen in picture 3.

Update number 2. Not only did I get the 2013 headrests but I also got the 2013 seat bottoms. I couldn't figure out why they didn't fit as well as the fronts and after searching in this forum on trek armors website and YouTube I finally contacted them through Facebook and sent pics and they said they messed up.
