Hey everyone, I’m looking at the Hyper Suede covers from L1MTD_R for my FL5. I’m sold on the look, but I’m a bit paranoid about the Velcro attachment system.
For those who have had these installed for a while or have taken them off: Does the 'hook' side of the Velcro snag or fray the original factory upholstery over time? I want to protect the seats, but not if the cover itself is going to chew up the factory fabric underneath. Thanks!

The velcro pieces are hidden and do not attach to any of the red parts of the seat your are sitting on. It either velcros underneath the seat, onto itself or on the side of the seat that is out of view.

He made it that way with the Velco so it doesn’t interfere with your seats side airbag from deploying. Safety concerns.
