So I'm trying to figure out what is so special about 2012 that it's omitted by almost all when listing rear seat covers? Btw, I'm specifically looking at the 4 door rear split bench.

The front seats were re-contoured in 2013. I am not positive, but would guess there was slight re-contouring with the rears as well, making the covers just slightly different. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the '12 shared the same seats as the '11......and that was one thing that wasn't updated right away when the 3.6L and other updates happened in '12.

Correct, '11 introduced the new interior, and the '12 is identical inside (my buddy has an 11, I have a 12, and we both ordered the same TrekArmor/Bartact kit). In 2013 they upgraded seats again. So 11-12 seats are their own beast, and I guess you might see fewer aftermarket options for them (although Bartact is the only one I'd choose anyway).

07-12 seats are identical, but the 11-12 years got new headrests. The headrests covers are like $25 from Bartract, or you can just run without them.

13-17 JKs got entirely new seats. I am fairly certain that the rear bench is similar enough to the old ones that the covers would fit but not very well.

So I took a gamble and ordered the 2013+ seat covers. They fit like a glove - including the head rest.



With one exception. On 2012's (not sure about 2011's) the way to fold them is by pulling a "rip cord" on the lower outside portion of the seat. On the 2013+ seat covers it's covered as it seems that the way to fold them is by pulling on something on the top of the seat.

Y, on the '13+ there is a lever on top of the seat back. Interesting. I didn't realize the earlier models method of engaging the fold was different. Looks good.

Yeah it looks great and the annoyance of having to dig under the cover to fold the seats is survivable considering the cost of the cover

Hi There, so what I'm trying to find out is you have a 2012 unlimited correct? And the 2013+ fit? I just want to buy the RC neo fronts and can get the fronts for only $110 if I go with my year I have to get the backs as well. Thanks!

The front seats in a 2012 and 2013 definitely have a different foam structure. I would think the fitment is not going to be as good as in that rear seat above.

I have a 2012 and used 2013 seats and however many years later I'm still happy. As I said the only issue that I have is where the cutout is for the "unlatching" the seat in order to be able to fold it.

Oh yeah, if I had to do it all over again..... I'd do it
