He has Rugged Ridge front seat covers and they fit great. Fits very snug but not ripped

I bought a second set for my husband's jeep and they had the same problem as the first set, the rear seat seams came undone when installed. Both sentences are separated at the same place. He has Rugged Ridge front seat covers and they fit great. They fit very well but don't come apart. Update 01/11/2015: Okay, the third set was delivered and the seams came undone during installation. My husband wasn't happy! The seat cover material is fantastic but the stitching is poorly stitched at best. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited rear seat is a split bench seat, and the narrower side of the seatback is wider at the top and middle than the bottom, so when installing the seat cover, the bottom of the seat cover must extend around the seatback when it lowers until it is fully seated is locked. They fit very, very snugly and we ordered all three separately. After he removed the seat cover, I took it to my sewing machine and re-stitched the split seam as well as other seams. Voila! He was then able to put on the smaller side seat back cover without tearing the stitching. However, when installing a larger seatback, the stitching also came undone, so I took it and sewed it together and it worked. I just double stitched it (two rows in each seam) using what is called a "stretch stitch" with regular thread and it worked. My husband was delighted because he already has matching front seat covers in his new Jeep. I think they should sew them a little better. These seat covers cost $125 for the back and $185 for the front, totaling over $300 plus tax and shipping. You would think they would use better stitching on the seams of the seat covers designed for such a snug fit and real struggle getting into the seats. And by the way, as you will see in other reviews, the headrest covers are just too small and won't fit on the headrests no matter how hard you pull and pull! My husband is calling Rugged Ridge to see if they have anything more. And as others have pointed out, the little 1/2" x 1" Velcro straps on the headrest cover are a real joke. To finish, Rugged Ridge made some really good quality seat covers that fit really well but sacrifice the seats. simple things like threads, stitching and headrest covers that ruined an otherwise excellent product. My suggestion: if you buy these seat covers, take them to the sewing machine and reinforce the stitching before fitting them!
