Corbeau Moab Seats
I bought these seats with high hopes. When I opened the box, I was actually glad I chose the cloth/vinyl combo instead of full vinyl. The cloth felt solid and good quality, but the vinyl… not so much.
Installation was easy.
I unbolted the stock risers from the tub, flipped them over, removed the old seats, and the new ones bolted right on with zero hassle. Once the risers went back into the Jeep, I immediately noticed two things:
The seat no longer slid back as far, pushing me closer to the steering wheel.
The seat height increased by a couple inches.
I’m 5'11", so it barely worked for me. If I were any taller, I would’ve had a problem. Leg room between me and the wheel was tighter than I’d prefer, but overall, the seats were extremely comfortable—at first.
Fast-forward two years:
The vinyl has started tearing on the sides, and worse, the side bolster foam has already broken down. This Jeep is not my daily driver—I rotate between my truck, my wife’s car, and my Harley. Honestly, the Harley and Jeep get the most road time, but even then, the seats shouldn’t be breaking down this fast.
I first noticed the foam collapse after running the Jeep doorless this summer. Without the door pressing back into the seat, I could really feel myself leaning outward. For reference, I’m 5'11" and 235 lbs—certainly not tiny, but nothing that should destroy seat foam in two years.
The good news:
They look fantastic. I’m going to try to repair the foam and vinyl if I can. If not, I still have my original seats, which desperately need new covers anyway—maybe I’ll try my hand at reupholstery.
Bottom line:
I wouldn’t recommend buying these seats new for a daily or even semi-daily driver. For a dedicated trail rig? Sure. They’re comfortable enough and look great. But durability just isn’t there for regular use.
