I ended up having to do a ton of sewing and adjusting just to make their covers fit.

From a quality and fit standpoint, I think exmoor would do a tremendous job, but they don't always have the same patterns as the original leather. https://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/our-mod...?submodel=1842
I can agree with a lot of this. Lseat took about 6 weeks to get me my order and their communication was awful. However, I thought the quality was good and everything seemed to be in the proper place? I did just order from Lseat 3 months ago so maybe they changed something?

I bought a seat cushion from exmoor which I like, but if you buy a new seat cushion you have to also have a seat replacement that has the black flaps installed on the seat leather otherwise you have to do modifications.

The Cabela covers didn't fit my seats correctly. The opening at the top of the seatback wasn't wide enough for the headrest support tubes to pass through. I didn't want to rip the seam or make additional holes, so I returned them. I ended up utilizing a set from Walmart. They aren't perfect, but they fit pretty well and were less than $25 for the set. Not sure if they still carry these, though.

Both sunroofs are not operating. I seal the exterior seams with Gorilla Tape every couple of years to keep moisture out. The factory roller shades didn't keep enough sunlight and heat out of the cabin, so I bought a cheap bubble foil windshield reflector, cut to the shape of each sunroof, and slipped it under the lip of the sunroof trim to hold them in place. It's much cooler in the cabin now.

@jvarnadoe I’m always hopeful the answer to that question will be that it works great, but I never get that answer
