Review on 🧺 Rugged Ridge 13235.01 Seat Protector Kit: Fabric, Black - Ideal for 76-06 Jeep CJ/Wrangler YJ/TJ by Jeff Bourke

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Installation instructions, generally good, service life unknown.

Purchased to replace my torn 12 year old Best Top denim covers. As long as I like them. Quick note, as many have said the installation was painful: remove the front outer screw that secures your seat to the rail. For me it was a 1/2" screw and I used a ratchet wrench as the space is very small. Once you remove it you can pull on the seat just enough to slide the plastic buckle under the seat to allow the Standard fit is not prevented from slipping or falling.The clips can be anywhere but I chose to put mine on a metal frame.Don't stretch too much or the elastic cord may come loose from thin fabric and sewing.a negative which I have seen so far the stitching is not very well done so i don't know how well they will hold up when needed for the price they fit well, work as i expected and even if they tear i can probably fix/fix them to make up for them Also, the fabric is NOT waterproof so I sprayed it with a hydrophobic coating for extra moisture protection.It's easy to make en and hopefully increase durability. If your elastic cords snap, put on a sleeve, insert it, and tie off the elastic. It's much stronger than stitching. In order to facilitate orientation, the seat part is aligned with a large mesh pocket in the front and a small mesh pocket towards the I side of the car. The back is pretty basic, with zip cups going to the center console. I hope this helps as the installation seems to be a failure for many and no instructions are included. But if you are a jeep driver you don't need instructions. If you drive with the top down, the fabric will fade quickly.
