WJ: Front seats difference?

GRTeam · Mar 11, 2012

Does anyone know if there is any difference in shape of WJ front seat cushions between different years or different markets?

I have an option to get a seat cover from a newer UK version WJ to replace the cover of my front passenger seat, however I wonder if it will fit well on the existing seat cushions.
The reason for my doubts is that the head rests of the donor seem to be larger than the ones I have. So I wonder if they are the only difference.

I don't know of a change in headrests for the front, but I know the rear headrests went from fold-down to completely removable sometime. My 04's rears are removable but my old 00's rears were fold-downs. I've heard that later style front seats are more comfortable than earliers, but I wouldn't think the seat covers would be any different.

I do know that the leather from 99-02 is the same, and 03-04 is the same, so there is a difference with the leather seat covers for sure, but I believe they are the same underneath as far as mechanicals, not sure on the foam.

I went from my 01 stock cloth seats in the front, to a set of 04 leather seats, and I can say that while the 01 cloth seats are comfortable, the 04 leather seats are killer nice, super plush and comfy.

The 04 Overland only came with newly designed larger seatback bolsters, more supportive seat cushions.

I think other than 04 they are all pretty much the same size.

Difference can be seen here,

I'm not sure but I do know that some dont have removable head rests in the front. my '04 has leather with removable headrests and my wife's '04 has cloth but there is no headrests.. it's all one piece

I'm sure that the seats are the same as far mechanics is concerned. It's the foam that I wonder about.

I have an 02 Laredo with leather, my friend has an 02 Limited with leather. both of us had our drivers seat heating element fail so we bought a set of 2 new elements from the dealer and took apart our seats and replaced them. although the Laredo and Limited do have different looking seats, I believe the foam underneath the leather was the same for both of ours.
