I ordered El Tigre seats online for our 2014 Yamaha G29 and love them (back in 2015). They sent me color samples so I could match them to the cart and once I ordered them they were custom made and came Fed X to our door a couple weeks later. They were very easy to install and anyone with even basic skills should be able to install them.

I ordered Backspin aftermarket seats for our 2022 Quiet Tech online the same way (they come with built in seat belts) and regret not getting El Tigre again. The Backspin seats are very nice, but they just don’t fit my ergonomics as comfortably as the El Tigres.

One word of caution with aftermarket seats. The sunbrella rain enclosures on many carts are custom made to fit very snuggly to the carts configuration. If the aftermarket seats have a larger footprint, that extends wider than the seats being replaced, it can make it very difficult to zip up the enclosure without tearing the fabric at the seams. Best of luck.
