Getting the velcro pulled through under the seat back is tough. I repeatedly stretched the seat cover downward over the seat alternating with pulling on the velcro one side, then the other (L-R).
Oh it attaches to itself! I do see the fuzzy part of the Velcro on the seat cover. The video I was watching made it look like it attached to Velcro on the seat cover bottom and of course there is no Velcro on the bottom seat cover section. I will have to try and stretch it through cuz right now there is no way it’ll reach that fuzzy strip. And yes it is very toasty here now. I think I lost 5 lbs in sweat this morning getting them on! Thanks!!
Totally agree with you. Although I haven't been to their showroom in California, they were nothing but pleasant and responsive via telephone. After I ordered a set for my 2019 JLUR, I wanted to make some changes. They were very supportive and helped me to get them exactly how I wanted.
I was at 7 weeks when I finally called them. They told me he would make sure they shipped the next day and he was true to his word. They arrived a few days later.
Talked to them this morning, and they said they were just waiting on the rear bench to be completed, and he'd be shipping out today. He said they were slammed, and recrafting something with their template, that got them a bit backed up, but there are catching up and shipping a lot of stuff this week.
Bartact will send you samples. It is a patented fabric which is both breathable and water resistant. Many 9" work boots offer this on the sides for comfort. I have had mine in several inches of water during a fire call and never leaked. I loved the set I had on my 2018 Rubicon and will order a set for my new 392 also. Very comfortable and washable.
Did you have any problem with the center of the seat backs fitting loosely? I have not been able to achieve the tight fit that I am used to with these covers. Dominic is working with me, including sending me updated pics for the install. But at this point, I cannot pull any more fabric through as it is actually tight from the top of the seat to the bottom on the side bolsters. Thankfully they are a stand up company.
With the differing curves of the seat back, the bottom 8-10" of the seat cover are tight to the seat. Above that the seat back becomes more recessed and there is a gap between the cover and seat back. I consider that due to the shape of the 392 seat it is unavoidable. It is recessed in that area in both the vertical and horizontal axis. Pretty much stretching cloth across a bowl.
That is what I'm dealing with. I suggested to Dominic that they increase the fabric on the side bolsters and decrease in the center as well as modifying the hem where it is restricted from being pulled further down by the seat belt mechanisms. This would require slight modification to the top also, to allow the cover to pull down and through to the connection under the seat. They are extremely responsive to this, and sent out for another 392 leather seat to be patterned.
