Fit perfectly, I chose the black Neoprene, then added a set of rear seat covers also in Black Neoprene from Mastercraft. Very comfortable, they are softer, sit a little lower and go back a little further for a much better driving position. Now if only I can get my airbag and seat belt light to go off...Passenger airbag light is fine, I sealed off the tube. The wiring on the driver side is simple, just a few wires, but I can't get it fixed, so I think I'm giving up and taking it to the dealer.

and when you get it working - wiring?

I took the Liberty to the dealer today to see if they could get my airbag and seat belt light to go off. They kept it a few hours then called and said it would be too much of a liability for them to try to fix it. Still charged me $55!

So, anybody have any ideas? The airbag and seat belt light are on all the time. It happened as soon as I installed the driver's side seat. There were 4 wires under the seat, 2 to the seat belt clasp, and 2 to the power seat. I left the connector to the seat belt clasp connected to the harness and taped off the 2 wires for the power seat.

Well a couple of the folks that did it.

retmil - disassembled the seats and recombined the pieces http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62506

buginout swapped the 'seat occupancy module' and added some wires http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=497641#p497641

both were going Jeep/Jeep - but the module is really the difference.

FYI - a couple of Kj Country's

Thanks ATXKJ, I read through all of those, but they are all about the air bag occupancy control for the passenger side. I took someone's advice and just plugged up the tube for that, and the occupancy light on the passenger's side of the dash is off.

This problem is with the driver's side seat somehow. I installed it first and that is when the lights first came on. I didn't install the passenger seat until several days later, so I'm sure it has something to do with the driver's side.

I was able to figure out the problem with the seat belt and air bag lights...

I had purchased the seat adapters on Ebay, and they already had the seat belt latches attached. Once I replaced the driver's side seat belt latch with the one from my Liberty everything worked fine.

So overall installing these seats is an easy job. Remove the seat belt attachments on both sides, take out the 4 bolts holding the seats down. To remove the passenger side seat you have to cut the occupancy sensor tube, then I plugged it up with a push pin? and some silicone. Then plug in the seat belt sensor wire on the driver's side.

Install the new seats, bolt them down and you are done. An hour job at most!

Looks a lot better! They almost look just like my KK seats!

The seats look great - however I will add a caveat

"I took someone's advice and just plugged up the tube for that, and the occupancy light on the passenger's side of the dash is off."

The occupancy sensor is a safety device
if you have someone small/lightweight sitting in the passenger seat - the airbag could deploy and it is dangerous.
