Seat Covers

[Longtimer]

G'Day All,

Has anyone got any feed back on the canvas seat covers made by Melvill & Moon? A set of 4 (2 front and 2 rear) for approx $550 plus shipping.

Does anyone in Oz make them to fit the 2014 Defender front and rear seats.?

I desperately need seat covers or my 8 year old and his friends will trash my seats real quick.....


Cheers,

Phill.

Are you referring to a defender 90 or a 110?

[jimb]

melvill and moons are the best looking/fitting covers I have seen.

I did find the durability not unreal. Both front seat bases tore at 3 years... and I paid almost $900 incl shipping (which was about 50% from SA) delivered for front and back of a 110.

Assuming you have a 90.

Yeah they do the job. Have two kids and they definitely save the seats. They have light water proofing but you can maybe reapply a 3M water proof spray if you live at the beach or kids are getting in wet frequently- maybe that why my fronts ripped? salt water...

Anyway, $550 for all four seats... great deal. you won't regret it.

No one supplies them in AUS, fitting them is fiddly but easy enough.

You can buy the escape covers in Australia but be prepared to wait. Actually I won't go into that story.

Well I have just moved mine from my now deceased 2007 110 to my 2014 130, they are still going strong. The back pockets are sagging a little, but that's thanks to my partner filling them with useless heavy **** that should never have been put in there.

Dullbird,

You should be ashamed of yourself!!!! There is no such thing as a deceased Defender. It may be hospiltalised. In need of a heart transplant, or gearbox overhaul, but it is not deceased. Crippled perhaps.... Probably.... Disabled at best.... In need of a serious rebuild.....

It's not deceased, it's merely failing to proceed
Incidentally, Lou, the seat covers in the Disco are still going strong. (As is the rest of the vehicle )

Check out black duck seat covers in Brisbane

I paid around $40 for a pair of black canvas seat covers from supercrap to go on my $4000 Scheel-Mann seats (I figured as long as they protect the seats they can be disposable).

So far they are over 12 months old and holding up. They are quite a reasonable fit. I get a persistent crease in the drivers base - caused by getting in and out. when I clean them I will do something about it...

I've 'borrowed', until I can afford some new ones, the seat base covers from my 98 (needs some tlc) Defender. They are Black Duck, 13 years old lived most of their life in the desert and now worn to a beautiful soft tan, oh so lovely to the touch! ...but the seat backs are too short for the new Deefer seats!

Looking at Black Duck again but they seem to have changed to a more poly-canvas than before...and pricey! Hmm. Looking also at Melville and Moon which look to be a very heavy cotton canvas (any first hand advice appreciated).

+1 for Black Duck, very happy with the fit. Pricey but high quality.
