These are the covers I had made by my local sailmaker. A great fit and very neat too methinks!

I must say that your seat covers look like they are a good fit have been made by a professional.....but fcx look like something i knocked up with my 30 year old sowing machine. a very poor fit and quality of work imho............under those circumstances im out!

I'm flabbergasted at your remarks Evil or Very Mad

Ours is a totally different design to those shown, ours cover the seat tilt mechanism and all bracketery left and right and were never intended / designed to be a tight fit - clearly !

I'm insulted that you describe our covers as a poor quality of work, on what are you basing that ?

I am sorry to cause offence but from the photos and please look at williams ....his are neat ,tidy and a good fit and i think some thought has gone into the cutting and .....i guess it was made from one piece of material as the top only has two stitched sides...........yours looks like it is separate pieces sowed together and is a very baggy fit ...........I dont want to start a tit for tat dialogue on here as in the end its down to the quality and look and thats my opinion

To be honest if i was llooking for a dust cover for my seats and given a choice to buy yours or williams version i would choose williams every time! I think your design is overcomplicated and just doesnt look right.Perhaps others on here could look at the two and comment!In the end it will sell or it wont!

You are of course entitled to your opinion and you can choose to buy whichever you like, but, you are not comparing like for like and you have no grounds whatsoever to claim our workmanship is of poor quality just because you don't like the design.

William's are also being secured by a strap and from what I can see don't cover as much of the seat mechanism. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

The covers that William has are beautifully made and are indeed a snug fit, but, my requirement was for a cover that covered the whole seat including all of the sub components, this was to stop 'shaking dogs' from getting dirt into the mechanisms and this is what we've achieved

Clearly Williams covers were made to a different design brief and can therefore not be compared in this way

Your apology is noted

I have no evidence of poor workmanship from a stitching together point of view and i didn't mean that but i just cannot get away from the fact that it looks like something i could stitch together myself and it simply to my eye looks home made!

I don't do piece work any more fella............I got sick of the boss taking all the profit and driving round in a white range rover!Aesthetics are 80% of a sale IMHO and feedback good or bad is always of value to a switched on vendor.............are you saying you are 100% happy with your design and it couldn't be improved?

United Kingdom 2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Loire Blue
Are FCX going to produce the rest of the load space system? Would love that for my 110 SW. It would be really good if there was a flap instead of cut outs for seats/catches. That way if the seats are removed the flaps can be folded to provide cover when the seats are out (hope that makes sense).

Regards

Mark.

United Kingdom 2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Santorini Black
I've got the TGE Defender Trims in my 110 USW but want something to protect and quieten down the rear load space - it sounds like an empty tin with ball bearings in being shaken by a kid when I go over stoney ground.

Putting the bikes in the back and my makeshift wooden "bed" when I go camping has scratched the paint on the arches already.

Surely someone must be thinking up ideas that would be a robust working cover for the metal bits (including the sides below the plastic mouldings) to protect it when chucking stuff in the boot.

C 2015 110 USW XS in Santorini with premium contrast leather seats in tan/black, black headlining and with Dual Finish alloys (in the garage, now on Wolf rims with Goodyear MT/Rs)

2012 '62' 2.2 X-Tech 110 USW now gone ...
1984 90 soft top with full roll cage, 200 tdi engine etc now sold
2012 USW XS 2.2 "FUU" now gone....
