Crossed flag emblem on seats

Does this come with all seats regardless of 1LT, 2LT and 3LT or does it only come with the 2LT and 3LT models?

mine's a 1LT and does not have the crossed flag emblems on the seats, so I wasn't sure if this was a flaw that I should get fixed or if it was intentional since I have the 1LT.

Not that simple. There are mounting holes in the seat leather. Probably have to remove the upholstery to attach them.

That and several people have complained about them getting hung up on their shirts or sweaters and pulling off or ruining their shirts.

I really don't see how that happens. They are actually recessed some into the seat and are located rather high on the seat back (actually on the bottom of the head rest portion).

I agree but it's been mentioned here on the forum more than once. If it's written on the internet, it must be true!

That said, I have comp seats so I can't confirm nor deny.

Yes, there was a photo of one that was in one of the very early car shows. The second report I'm not so confident of. It may have been a troll just trying to stir up troubles. It certainly has not been a widespread problem. Maybe it was an early issue and they made a slight change in seat assembly to fix it.

I remember that thread.

It was either his chest wig or gold chains that caught on the emblem causing it to brake. his dealer had it replaced under warranty.
