Ok, so here I am again for those of you following the Lseat seat covers story.


here are the pictures. I think the craftsmanship is very good, and I have had some seats done. They did not have 1995 range rover classic seat patterns. I supplied my original seats (removed covers) for the pattern; so now they have that pattern as a stock item.


Why am I posting on the Jag site? They have Jag patterns and I am your guinea pig!

I used Lseat covers for my XJ6. I installed them August of 2020. These photos are from the day I finished the job. Since then the few creases have smoothed out nicely. They've held up very well so far, Very happy with them.

When I installed the Lseat covers in my XJS I used a cheap steamer(Walmart) to get rid of the wrinkles that formed from folding the covers for shipping. I used the steam before I pulled it tight to anchor it to the seat frame. I am very happy with the results.

These are a nice fit. Who made them if you don't mind sharing?

alabassi no problem sharing. info.

I purchased these seats from a seller in eBay. They were already re-upholstered but in vinyl, not leather. He did not know who did the work.
They are used but in perfect condition. He removed them from a Series 3 XJ-6 in a salvage yard.

Whoever did the work used new foams because the shapes are still perfect, not flattened.

He has another set of seats in the original leather but I wanted to stay away from leather, I wanted vinyl.

I have the original seats from my XJ-6 but the leather is really bad, this is why I wanted to stay away from leather. Vinyl lasts longer.
