1996 XJ 4-door Front Seat Dimensions for Coverking Seat Covers
I'm trying to get some front seat covers for my '96 2-door. My seats are non-power, and have built in headrests. Like this:
They said they have patterns for a 4-door with built in headrests, but not the 2-door. I'm told the 2-door and 4-door seats could be different dimensions.
Could someone with a '96 4-door with non-power seats that have built in headrests as shown in the above photo measure their front seats and provide dimensions?
Thank you.

Reason: Add info
I went ahead and ordered the seat covers for the front seats of a 4-door based on some dimensions provided to me from a 4-door XJ owner.
Ordered not too long after the original post, the covers came in quickly. I was out of town for a coupla months and finally had a chance to put the covers on. They fit great. If anyone is interested in these covers for their 2-door, my experience is they fit correctly.
I must have missed this post originally, otherwise I would have measured mine for you. I'm glad it worked out properly.
You haven't mentioned where you ordered them from in your posts. Do you have a link? I happen to be looking for some as well.
Ordered through JC Whitney, manufacturer is Coverking. I only ordered through JC Whitney for price. I got them for around $150 for the front seats only. The material is cordura, Coverking calls it "Ballistic", and though it's not a "tight" fit, they do fit well and the material is very durable and resistant to wear/liqids. I'm very happy with the product. I have the same covers for the front seats of my '89. I would be hesitant to order through JC Whitney again, unless I called them to order. The website is confusing, and the first time I ordered I received a rear seat cover, though I thought I ordered front seat covers. Getting my money back was a frigging nightmare, but it was eventually refunded. Not fun.
I'll post photos of the covers tomorrow.

I used to work for JC Whitney. We were a cool, family run company until US AutoParts (a huge, internet-only company) bought us in 2009 - then sent everyone packing.
Ok, the photo doesn't do the covers justice, as I just installed them and they've been sitting in a box poorly folded for two months. They will conform to the seat better over time, after some use, though Coverking advertises the Ballistic covers as having a looser fit than their other covers. The material is very durable, and the covers include map pockets in the backs. Pretty good for $150. Remember they've hardly been sat on.
They look great. You can definitely tell they are fitted to a mold. I put some cheapy ones on, and they look terrible compared to the ones in your pics.
Thanks guys. Another note: the covers for the '96 were a snap to install. Took all of 10 minutes. The ones for the '89 were a little more involved, including slicing factory fabric from between the seat bottom and back part to pass the material of the cover through.
