Rip off merchants. stay well away or if you must use Paypal to pay for anything. At least that way you can raise a dispute to get a refund. Took approx 3 weeks for a refund on a cancelled order that was actually out of stock even though the wb site stated next day delivery etc.

Forgive me, but I'm not really understanding what the issue is. From the pictures, looks pretty much the same as my (non-UK Custom Covers) cover. Not sure why you would need the cover to go over the seat fold handles.MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff
I have the Non quilted version from Custom Covers, and it is fine, never had a problem, very hardwearing
No issues with customer service either
I never put the velcro on the seat latches as you don't need them, the tapes for the headrests hold the seatback section up, and even then I don't always put them on, and it still stays up
Bit of a non-issue

It seems to be holding ok with just the headrest straps - but they are supposed to be a secondary fixing, it’s primarily held with Velcro stuck to the plastic in various places.
My issue with it is that it’s claimed to be designed custom for the car, but there’s no way that I can see that those fixings would ever work.
Their attitude seems to be that it’s my issue rather than theirs and their product must be correct.
I’ve decided to keep it for now, as apart from the fitting issue it seems ok...
The boot flap also seems poorly designed in terms of the overlapping part so we shall see how that goes once I’ve let the adhesive dry on the Velcro.

Do the Velcro patches match the seat fold handles in yours?

Okay I see your problem. Mine do align okay but the Velcro down the back seats doesn't perfectly (but covers the seat backs 100%). So I guess I've fanned out the sections at the seat backs a little. Does that make sense?

Yeah I found the same - if I fanned out the three seat back covers then it didn’t form a single overlapped cover and had gaps.
With a light coloured carpet, I wanted it to be as protected as much as reasonably practicable.
It’s a shame as the cover could fit properly, they’ve just mounted the Velcro wrong.

You can buy (fleabay) Velcro for less than a quid a metre. Needle and cotton - 5 mins, will do the same myself.

The Mrs has offered to do that, so will go down that route.
Just posted this here to see if I was alone or if it was the same on all these covers - as the manufacturer clearly thinks they’re perfect.

Sounds like yours is slightly more out of tolerance than mine,as I have no gap at the back seats and acceptable contact on the seat leavers. That said I'd give you a 20 for the extra padded set you now own
Edit - against site rules and probably different (but equally poor-ish) fit to D3
