Rear seat gap cover

[brandofamily]

I am looking at going from my current 2015 JKU to a 2026 JLUR. I have a Trench Cover for the rear seat gap in my JKU.
What do JLU users put in to cover the grap with the seat down? I'll be honest, I haven't looked closely at the back of the rear JLU seats at this point.

Do you mean something off the self or DIY something? I went the OE route: this comes with the cargo area mat, bracket for the carpet gap hider, carpet gap hider, and seat back protectors:

At $237, it's not cheap, but somehow it's actually less than buying just the carpet factory gap hider and bracket separately:

I saw those, but wasn't sure how they all attached based on the instruction sheets with no wording. lol How do those attach to the seat backs? Is there still carpet on seat backs?

you can get the Seat Gap Hider and bracketry without needing all the mats and other stuff. (i did.)

this might help.

The JLUR already has a gap cover for the back seat

Here’s the parts.

Thanks for that info. I never looked at it closely in-person as I didn't think about it and I could n't find info on it anywhere.

Seems like that should all be in one kit. Thanks for the parts breakdown.

So mine is a Willys with cloth seats, so your Rubicon may be different. But on mine, there are mounting points built in to the seat already, but you have to cut small holes in the back of the factory cloth seat cover to expose them and attach a bunch of plastic receiver pieces.

It's harder to explain than it is to do. The instructions are alright, but you kind of have to decipher the hieroglyphics.

Also, I do appreciate the irony in the fact that I had to cut holes in the back of my seats to install a protector, lol. I also made it harder on myself by trying to cut as small a hole as possible and a couple of the little plastic receiver pieces aren't seated as tightly as some others and like to pop out every now and again.

the trench cover is standard with leather.

OP didn't say if they have leather or cloth, and since they were asking about a gap cover, I jumped to the conclusion that they had cloth...

I am thinking of ordering cloth. Haven't made my order yet. Gathering quotes.

the power seat part of the leather option is a really nice feature. my first 3 JK's j had cloth and my 4th JK leather and after that I would never get cloth again. When I got my JL that was the one option that was required..well that and hardtop and automatic.....

I plan on using Bartact seat covers again. So leather would just get covered up.

I think this is what I have in my JLU:

Jeep Wrangler JLU/JKU Trench Cover – Deepsleep Overland https://share.google/Nye04931msetot2Jy

This one looks very similar:
Endura Jeep Cargo Gap Mat https://share.google/KkWujcAaEHx07QpZM

Actually, once I went and looked mine is branded "Endura". I do have a pair of the Deepsleep mattresses though, but that's for a different thread.
