Seat Covers - Melville and Moon

[Kujo]

Be careful. I ordered front seat covers and a dash cover. The dash cover did not fit properly and Melvill and Moon were totally unresponsive. They did not return communications, and made absolutely no effort to correct the problem.

That’s not good.

I don’t have any experience of the M&M covers but I do have a set from Tougher. They fit very well, look great and the service (both pre and after sale) from them is superb.

Sorry to hear that. We stock and import some of their products in the USA though my business Overland Kitted. Even though you didn’t order through us, I’d love to help make this right.

Please send me a DM, or an email: matt@adventure-imports.com

I worked with Kristen Smith at Melvill. There was a time difference in response, however always responded promptly. I have her contact information if you’d like.

The seat covers are expensive, but well worth it - great quality. 4 kids, wife and dog and the covers still look brand new after a year of use.

I found a plastic trim tool with broad blade was good when fitting these covers. Mine did come with instructions, but not as helpful as I hoped.
There is a video on YouTube where someone fits them in a Defender. That was quite helpful.
I have owned mine for around 18 months and very happy with them.

Adding a link to your response would be helpful in this case.

Fitted them myself.
100% agree that the instructions need some improvement and even now, feel I have missed something.

Are you referring to the plastic trim tool? A regular type kit as found on Amazon for very little money. Will look for link if helpful

I have exactly the same issues - just cant get them to fit and hold tight at the back.

So is not just me then

Even though this link is for the Tougher product, it may still help as they are similar products

If they are that difficult to fit what are they like long term?

They are like something you sit on.

Had mine around 18 months and extremely happy with them. The stain resistance is supreme and they feel extremely robust. Correct fitting method is the only downside. I am going to spend half a day, during my leave, send Steph at M&M UK some video as to how I fitted mine and if my method is correct I will post on here.

Thanks some sort of instruction would be welcome as if I proceed I will break something particularly worried about the wiring under the seats and setting airbag off.

I really don’t think breaking anything should be a concern. Fitting these covers will not compromise any of the components. I suppose finger nails could be at risk
