Im looking for some seat covers for my kick, but i noticed all the full sets that include the front seats and the back bench have a 2 peice back bench cover that dont work with the kick i learned that the hard way.... needs to be a 1 peice
when looking for seprate front bucket and bench packages i cant find any that match each other...
So my question is does anyone know of any of these that match or come in a set, that havwe the one peice bench cover?
sure i can get custom made, but im not looking to spend that kind of money...
Thanks,
Steve

I have the "X-bound" covers on my 4dr ...
cheapish ... durable ... and have matching bench cover

I did need to sew up the center of the bench seat cover to get it to fit right, but even for the sewing challenged (like me) it wasn't a big deal.
-
Sew up the center what for?
Is that bench one piece or 2?
Thanks
-
It's a one piech bench seat, but was overly wide for a good fit ...
So, I turned it inside out, pinched the center about 4", and used a strong thread on a tight pattern to run a seam right down the center. fit better after that.
My seat is a 60/40 split seat, so I kinda wished I'd done the sew job so one half could lay down ... maybe I'll redo someday.
-
Yeah i got the 60/40 as well on my 97 sport the top part is anyway but i didnt care about that though not being able to lower on part at a time, dont have any reason to only lower the 40% of the passengers seat...
you sew it becasue it was real loose or just wanted a perfect glove fit? i dont care much if its a little loose ...
-
Th X-bounds have a string running through eylets to get the cover to fit the seat (ya can see the fronts in my pic). The rear just wouldn't tighten enuf for my liking so I did the sew up.
I'll sell ya my rear already done if ya like ... (would let me get a nother to make into a 60/40). It's "clean", other than perhaps some dog hair, and can get pics of the sew up, it's a nice job if I say so myself :)
-
Sure,
If you can get me some pics and a price...
i'll consider it....
Thanks

I'd take $35 shipped ... these are "brand new" (I never wheeled with the rear seats in, and never even had a passenger in the rear seats). Combine this "ready to go" with some matching fronts and you're set.
PM me ... and I'll take paypal.
-
Did you cut holes for the seat belt peices or do they come like that?
I ask, because it looks shabby in the picks
-
I made slits ... the rear seat is actually out of the rig (I don't wheel with it in), so just not "tucked in". I also punched holes for the "fold down" pulls. No aftermarket cover is going be a glive fit (unless you have major $$$$).
This aint a re-upulsture ... it's seatcovers. They are TOUGH tho, and yet don't look like total azz.
In my 2dr, I've run these for a couple of years (and ALWAYS with my dog).
My dog is an 80lb longhair german shepherd that likes to play in mud puddles. She also likes to "load up" via the front door. Her nails have never torn the front seat covers in the 2dr, and with some scotchguard, the water/mud is easy to sluff away. (If you have wheeled with a dog, you would "understand" why this is important).
-
i see,
Well i guess i want to start with a new one then because i dont want any slits at all..
but thanks for pointing me to ones that work....
Ive actully never wheeled with anything but a friend one time when i was a teen ager...
i had a 93 jx 4 door that i just used a commuter back ibefore i left atlanta 5 years ago, and this 97 sport aquired recently will now will be mainly a commuter for harsh winter time conditions and to get to some fishing spots & camp spots in the spring/summer other wise my focus zx3 cant do... might try wheeling a bit but nothing that will mess it up as i plan on giving it a fresh paint job in the spring & NOT planing on any major mods like lifts, other wise i would have looked for a non sport (wich im finding alot more parts for those)...
Any ways i will order that back, i have some other covers for the front that didnt work out from my first try from ebay that may work with the the new back one atleast color wise, seems similuar, black streach stuff and a vinal like grey?
-
Actually I have those same seat covers in my 2dr. and I have to agree, they are tough boogers. My dog is always with me as well, and My trackers sees some rough terrain and gets used everyday, but these covers haven't ripped, torn, stretched, faded, or stained. The driver side cover was in my old 92 Explorer for 2-3 years before I put it in my tracker this May, and I bought a matching one for the passenger seat. They matched perfect, the 2-3 yr old one didn't fade at all. Honestly, they are hard to beat for a slip over seat cover.
