Just picked up my seat covers and didnt know I would be this excited getting seat covers!! They are very well built and fit snug so far. I just put them on to let them stretch out a bit overnight. There are zippered pockets front and back and the attachment straps are all over! They come with 2 pouches and a nice carry bag for stuff. Check out their website

Welcome to Trek Armor

Mitch the sales manager was very helpful and made sure I got my order and color. Was thinking about the gray, but the red adds some "pop" and interest to an otherwise boring interior. I also got the drivers side lumbar support. The tops werent that to put on as I turned them 1/2 way inside out and just rolled it down. Letting them stretch and find their set position before I put in the holes for the headrest.

Fade resistant for 3 years and the backing is waterproof material. These are great covers esp if you are not sold on neoprene! (I wasnt) Highly recommend them as well as their service!!

Thanks! I've gotten a lot of compliments the few days they've been installed, most noticing the quality of the material and fit.

You're going to love them! I'd imagine you're just a few days away.

Have your seat covers shown up yet?

I was under the impression that they do not charge until the seat covers ship.

I ordered custom covers and got them in 4 weeks from order date. I love them and defiantly worth the wait. Only wish they came with a sticker for the added HP.

Ordered mine on April 7th and got them on the 14th. Ordered the Bartact version in red for front and rear, which they had in stock. Love them and could not be happier. The fitment is excellent and they look great! Considered wet okole but like this fabric much better. Highly recommend them😄

Mine showed up today. The order was missing my console cover, so I emailed them. I got an quick reply stating that it wasn't done at the time of shipping, so they will ship it shortly. I'm glad they sent the covers ahead. It took about 50 days. Quality product here. I'm happy with the design.

Glad business is good for these guys. I like supporting business here in the states.

How long did it take for you guys to receive an email with shipping status? I ordered mine on the 15th. It's been 5 business days. 6 if you include Saturday. I've been charged for them already. The same day I ordered them. I don't believe I got custom ones. I just chose black with red inserts. I've been looking through the posts. And it looks like some of ya'll received them immediately while the worse being a month wait.

I called them yesterday and found out that black with red inserts are currently going out for orders, but none are available stock for new orders as it is a popular choice.

On a side note I spoke with Dan about a custom order/color. He was super nice and will be sending me a color sample. So far I am impressed with their customer service and will be buying direct from them.

Well that sucks. I might have to cancel my order then. Since I leave in 3 weeks to Korea. :/ I was hoping to get them before. And enjoy them for a couple of days. Before I left. But I guess not. I'll just have to order them when I get back.

Good to hear. I just think these guys have more business than they can handle right now; good on them. Anybody reading this, and ordering a custom set, should expect a lengthy wait. The product is definitely worth it.

Got mine today. Went Black on black with graphite stitching. Before I ordered mitch said the custom graphite stitching wouldn't stand out and he was right, but its just the right level to break up the seats. It looks like the Rubicon seats made by Bartact. Which is exactly what I was going for. Love em!!!!

Picked up and installed my black/graphite Trek Armor front seat covers today (don't have the back seat in my Jeep) and they seem to be of excellent quality. I also ordered Bestop soft doors hence the reason for the water proof seat covers just in case I get some leaking in heavy rain. I also wanted to slow down on the wear on the seat corners from sliding out of the jeep, already had some significant wear happening.

I measured from the outside seams to draw the lines. I used the shot glass centered on the headrest retainers to draw the circle. The line was closely centered in the circle which was a bonus. Had it not been centered (or at least close) I may have tried more tugging or let settle longer.The primary purpose of the circle was to orient the cutting lines. I found cutting 3/4 from the center of the X to be perfect. Was snug to pull over the top of the retainer. The extra effort was worth the extra peace of mind in my case. Your mileage may vary.
 
#456 ·
So you measured from the seams but you then used the plastic piece as the reference? You've made my point. All you needed to do was use the plastic as a reference and skip the measuring. But if making pretty little marks on your seat cover helps you feel better in some way, who am I to judge.

If you guys are worried about the edges fraying from the cuts. I saw this helpful tip on an installation video. Heat up a flat head really hot and burn the edges so that they don't get worse over time. I installed mine yesterday. But I don't plan on putting the headrest in. I don't have front or backs ones. I like the look and it gives me more visibility.
 
#442 · (Edited)
FWIW, after 2.5 years, I haven't noticed any fraying although I'll admit I haven't peeked under the plastic pieces to see the actual cuts. YMMV.

I detest the headrests and how much visibility is lost, but I worry about liability/insurance denial, especially for the occasional passengers that are in my jeep if I were to remove a safety feature like headrests. Just hope you don't get in a rear end accident where whiplash or a neck injury could result. An insurance adjuster probably wouldn't look favorably at a vehicle without required headrests.

For those that have run them for a while does it help support the seat any? I'm a bit overweight and I'm concerned about the seat holding up on the side where I slide out. I'm working on the weigh but in the meantime if the trek armors offer some support for the seat itself that would be great. I don't think neoprene will do that for me.
 
#454 · (Edited)
I doubt that. The covers are snug, but I don't think there is any real structural support for the seat itself. What they will do is hold up much better to abrasion from sliding on and off the seat. My cloth seat was showing signs of wear after just a year, especially along the outer edge by the door, while the Trek Armor shows no signs of wear in 2.5 years.
