Default Rugged Ridge Products

I bought the Rugged Ridge seat covers about 6 months ago and they are tearing already. The neoprene is too soft and the threads are ripping out of the seams. The drivers seat is wearing a hole from rubbing when I get in and out. I'm thinking of getting the Mopar seat covers because they are thinner and look more durable. Is anyone else having this problem? I am not a fan of Rugged Ridge at all. I bought the full Euro guard set and the headlight guards did not fit correctly. I also bought the mirror relocation brackets and the stock mirrors did not fit in the mounts. So far I have wasted way too much money on a crappy company!!!!! Have they ever heard of Quality control!!!! Anyone else having problems with their products?

I have thier grab handles (front and rear) and thier tail light guards and they all seemed fine to me. Never really had a problem. I'm sure your seat covers are under warrenty. I'd demand a replacement set.

I not too impressed with rugged ridge myself, I think they make a lot of different things, so they give up a little quality.

Contact the company. I have several rugged ridge products and have been happy with them all. I did have an issue with their mirror relocation brackets due to a mid-year Chrysler change in the mirrors. They were extremely responsive in getting the issue fixed for me. I give them a

I ordered the RR neoprene seat covers. Strap on the bottom of the front seat tore the seat cover. The back seat was not fully in position yet when half the seams tore. I called Quadratec and they are giving me my money back. Told them I didn't want another set.

I ordered a rear seat cver for mine, it came apart at the seams when I put it on. I sent it back , gotta dfferent brand.6-8mos of use and they're starting to come apart. No more neoprene for me. I shoulda known better but the wet okoles I had in my CJ lasted 2yrs. before ripping, and the top was hardly ever on.

Our experience is it depends on what product you get...

XHD Front Bumper setup, center arm rest, light guards and grab handles are great....

XHD Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier is a piece of SH!T
