Using Mabett PU Seat Covers on Lariat ActiveX Seats???

[VinnyH]

Like many of you, I bought, installed and very much enjoyed the.Mabett PU Leather seat covers in my XLT Maverick with cloth seats. I recently traded up to a Lariat with Black Appearance Package featuring the black vinyl/ActiveX seats. Can I install the Mabett covers over the "pleather" OEM seat covers? Should I? Any advantages or disadvantages? Is it just redundant? I've heard these OEM vinyl covers don't really hold up well:/

One small technical consideration- the bottom foam of the Mabett covers have a felt-like covering that could (maybe) damage, scuff or wear into the factory covers. Obviously they dont affect cloth OEM covers, but using them over vinyl I'm just not sure.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Doesnt the black appearance package cause the seats to be made out of cloth material with a graphite like appearance?

I think that is only on the XL an XLT trims, I believe the Lariat gets the Active Pleather.

Yes, BAP has different seats; pleather only on the Lariat.

I went ahead and installed the Mabett covers over my factory covers. Fit was great, as expected. We'll see down the road if that was a wise choice haha.

Fit looks immaculate.
