Don't buy Tesla accessories from Basenor!

I ordered the Model 3 door seal kit from the Basenor website. Specifically the kit with the B pillar and A pillar seals (doesn't come with frunk and trunk seals).

I ordered on Feb 19. I didn't get any updates for 10 days so I sent them an email on Feb 29. Jacob replied and said I could get the same thing on Amazon, and to cancel my my Basenor order. I was reluctant to buy on Amazon because of reviews saying people got the wrong kit, or mismatched seals, or missing seals, etc.

Well I ordered anyway and guess what... I was shipped the wrong kit lol.

I was REALLY hoping for the B pillar and A pillar seals, but I got the frunk and trunk seals instead. The Amazon listing shows every seal in the kit...

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm getting sick and tired of companies misleading their customers and/or blatantly lying, and/or making poor quality products but labeling them as high quality...

Why......

Also, Basenor banned me from their Facebook page that they invited me too, removed my reddit post, and their Amazon rating is plummeting. Do you need any more reason to avoid them

I was going to buy the BASENOR Tesla Model 3/Y/S/X Leather Seat Back Kick. What are othet alternatives? This company seems to have a lot of bad reviews?
 
I would probably save for a more expensive full seat cover. The seat backs will look super tacky and thick. You could maybe look for seat back leather replacements instead of covers?
Thanks. There aren't a whole lot of options. I really don't mind paying premium. I don't want to cover the whole seat - just the back. I am also looking for white. If there were other options, I would gladly pay

Oh, I get your concern about BASENOR's reviews. If you're after some solid alternatives for your Tesla's seat back protection, TESERY's got some pretty popular seat covers that people are raving about. The “Tesla seat covers for Model 3 Highland" are a hit for their quality and customization options. Lots of folks have shared their positive experiences, and with a bunch of color choices, you can totally match your style. You should totally head over to their product page and see the reviews for yourself. It's a great way to get a sense of what you're getting into.

The picture below shows their color options, you can take a look if you are interested:

They don't make any of these products.
These are generic EPDM/rubber gaskets. You can get them from any hardware store, automotive store, or amazon. Just search for EPDM seals in D or P-profile. Cut to size and apply as needed.

I wouldn't buy anything from this company either---it's straight from ALI-express
