Question XT vs XTSL

LuvMyGirls · Jul 26, 2010

I did a search and the only answers I found were what I already thought. I thought the only differences in the XT and XTSL were the rear-facing limits and the super latch. I want a new cover for my XT, but the SKJP site only shows XT covers for sale and they say they will not fit an XT. What's the deal?

The only differences that we usually care about are the weight limits, SuperLATCH, and a different harness. There may also be a difference in the cover, particularly in the snap. Some people have been able to mix and match; others haven't.

What Pixels said. When they went to SL they reveresed the snaps so you will have two male ends meeting on your seat. Seeing as how mine never stayed snapped to begin with I never had a problem switching the covers (but my two were and 80 and 65SL). The part that snaps down tends to stay tucked away prett well with out it.
If it were me I would go ahead and try the XTSL cover.

So if you have an XTSL, an XT cover won't fit? Or it will but "not quite right"?

You are dealing with wrong end of snaps again but it the snaps don't bother you it should stay on and line up with the slots, etc.

Half the time the snaps aren't snapped on mine anyway, so if it doesn't bug you it will work.

Well, if those snaps are the only problem, I may be able to deal with it. My Malibu cover faded so badly within three months and now that it's a year old, I'd really like a new cover with some girly color to it.

It's a 2008 Town & Country minivan with factory tint.

Oh no!!! thats what I have! And I was about to trade for a Malibu cover...think I might change my mind (that and the snaps not snapping) I think that would bug me...

My snaps snap just fine on the Malibu. It's just the faded cover that's driving me crazy. I did ask Russ about the XTSL covers not fitting and he said what y'all did. He said they've changed the snaps but the cover will fit fine. He said if I fold/unfold the seat I may have to adjust the fit of the cover on the side.

So, those of you who have Flora or Petal covers, has the color stayed true? I can't decide which one I want now.
