Default Difference in front seats '07 vs '14?

Can anyone tell me if there are any real differences between the two years?

Mostly, I'm concerned with dimensional differences. I might have a deal on a set of 2014 seat covers. Really only concerned with the fronts only...

Thank you

They should be the same. Only difference I know is the rear seats, the headrests don't come out now. I took the headrests out of my '11. But when I got the '14 the headrests don't come out.

I wonder why trek armor has the years separated 07/10, 11/12 & 13/14 for the fronts? Did the adjustments change, or could it have to do with the fact that some are heated now?

Not sure about those two years but I know my 2009 seats are very different than my buddies post 2011 JKU. May only be skin deep but it seems that there's quite a bit different pre '11 and post '11.

2011 is when the interior got a facelift right? So maybe they did change the seats a bit for '11+

I know my 12 seats are different from the 07's. Not sure if the seat rails are the same.

Would anyone with a 12/14 be willing to measure the top width, bottom width and length of the top of the seat and the four sides of the bottom half? Then I can just compare the measurements to mine.

the headrests are definitely taller and skinnier on my 13 seats vs my 08,09,10 ..those first years my seats were identical..

the seats also seem to be shaped slightly different as i feel more lumbar support with my 13.. so im guessing the contour of the seat has changed which would affect covers..
