Review on E-Z-GO TXT/Valor/Freedom TXT/T48 Compatible Golf Cart Rear Flip Seat Kit With Steel Frame, For 1995 & Up Models - GTW MACH3 by Jack Malloy

At this price point ($150 over the typical entry level seat) I was expecting a quality product. I liked the design of the seat and flip bed with the rounded corners and plastic cover on the footrest. installation was pretty uneventful, directions were easy to follow. That's the good. Things I didn't like outweigh that. Seems quality control is lacking. The seat foam is too firm and the covers are not tightly wrapped, and have unsightly wrinkles and are loose, I will have to pull the staples and restaple tighter. The assembly bolts have large heads and stick out both physically and aesthetically, they could have used carriage bolts finished in black which would have looked much better as well as not protruding. The flip part seems flimsy and the metal angle part that bolts on to stiffen it seems an afterthought. The seat doesn't lay flat in either position. I will have to disassemble and elongate the pivot bolt holes so that it can without being under stress. The bed part has a small crack in a stress point that is sure to get worse. I can probably make this serviceable but I should not have to spend several hours fixing what are design and quality issues. If I had not already spent a couple hours installing it I would return and buy a cheaper one.
