One really has to wrestle to get the Rugged Ridge Front Seat Covers (13214.09) over the factory seats. Rugged Ridge actually points this fact out in their installation instructions. The problem exists in that the stitching between the panels does not accommodate the force necessary for a proper fit, or normal wear. The seat covers should be, at a minimum, double stitched, but they are not. Even if one gets the seat covers on without pulling the seams apart, I think the natural stretch of the tight-fitting neoprene and ones body movement will, over time,lead to seam failure. My wife turned the covers inside-out and restitched (3 times) the seams and installation went well and should hold for quite some time. This extra step will, I believe, save time and frustration of having to remove, sew and reinstall the seat covers when the inevitable failure occurs, even after moderate use.

Love the look of the seat covers, although very hard to put on. Once i fought to get them on, I found out the headrests do not fit my jeep. Web site said they would fit a 2012 jeep. I am not going to go through the hassle of taking covers off to return them.

I'd probably return these seats if I didn't get them at half off from the warehouse deals. Quality control and construction is lacking from what I could see, perhaps why the first person returned them to amazon? Anyway, there's stray stitching and string on all pieces, the ends aren't all finished very well either. While installing I pulled on the strap to connect the ends and it ripped through the seat with what I would consider an acceptable amount of force to pull the seat tight enough.

So now I have the seat covers installed but the head rest covers won't fit. I do have a 2012 and I guess the head rests have changed enough to not allow them to fit. I guess it would be nice if Rugged Ridge had a working website to indicate which products work on the 2011 + 2012s as it seems many of their products still list "07 and up" rather than the real limits. With the new model out for so long now I'd hope they could at least keep their customers happy by such a simple thing as validating and testing.

They look pretty decent but I don't think I'd say fits like it was re-upholstered... If you've got a 2011/2012 I'd avoid this one and try to find a brand that is designed properly and hopefully has better quality control. I'm likely to keep checking myself and maybe gift these to someone who has an older model that might fit properly.

Honest reviews on Rugged Ridge 13214.09 Black/Grey Custom Neoprene Front Seat Cover

The seat covers look better than factory seat. You have to work hard to get them in place very tight fit. Once you have them in place they fit like a glove.Very happy with the quality and the seats go well with the interior.They do add some cushioning and you will set a little higher. It is not enough to matter unless your head is touching the roof now.

Installed on a '10 Wrangler 2 door. Covers fit very well and look good. Pulling the covers on was no big deal. Headrests fit well. Instructions say to pull the bottom edge of the cover through the gap between the seat back and the seat bottom. Instructions say this will be difficult. They should say it will be impossible on some seats. The original fabric under the back of my seats is a light pile where it wraps under the seat bottom. The velcro on the seat cover attaches itself firmly to this fuzz and you CANNOT push the cover through. Period. However.....put a piece of 6 mil plastic sheeting through the gap first and the velcro will slide right over the fuzz. It is tight and it will take a little push-pull with both hands but it goes right through. Pull the plastic out and use it on the other seat. I think the plastic sheet will make things easier even if the original material doesn't grab the velcro. I would have given the covers Five Stars except for this installation problem.
