I was willing to accept
I was willing to accept a small fitment issue because the pattern used was for a slightly different model of 2003 VW New Beetle. However, ShearComfort insisted on replacing the covers with those for the precise car model. Not only did they make all new covers that fit perfectly, but they paid the return shipping cost. My daughter is very pleased with her new seat covers. They make the hard black leather seats 1000% more comfortable - and look awesome! ShearComfort is a great company with an excellent product!
