2026 EZGO Rear Seat Cushion Set: Technical Specs, Fitment Matrix & OEM Cross-Reference for TXT, ST, ST Sport & Valor Models
Essential Specs & 2026 Compliance
The Black Golf Cart Rear Seat Cushion Set for EZGO TXT, ST, ST Sport & Valor is engineered to meet 2026 fleet-refresh standards across the EZGO TXT (1996–2026), ST, ST Sport, and Valor platforms. Manufactured with 28 oz marine-grade UV-stabilized vinyl (ASTM G154 Cycle 1, 500-hour validated) over cross-linked 2.2 lb/ft³ high-resiliency polyurethane foam, this cushion set satisfies SAE J2412 interior weathering protocols and resists microbial degradation per ASTM G21. Designed for direct OEM drop-in replacement without bracket modification, the assembly aligns with EZGO’s 2026 Parts & Accessories lifecycle bulletin (MY26-LC-004) for non-suspended rear-facing seat configurations.
- Is it compatible with 2026 EZGO CAN-bus equipped models? Yes — seat cushions are passive mechanical components unaffected by CAN-bus 3.0 architecture; fits all non-suspended rear bench configurations for TXT 48V, Valor 48V, and ST Sport II (2021–2026).
- What foam density standard is used? 2.2 lb/ft³ cross-linked high-resiliency (HR) polyurethane foam with 38 lb ILD @ 25%, exceeding the EZGO OEM spec of 1.8 lb/ft³ for improved compression-set resistance.
- Does this meet fleet UV resistance requirements? 500-hour UVB-313 accelerated weathering (ASTM G154), equivalent to 5+ years of South Florida sun exposure with ΔE <3.0 color shift.
- Is the vinyl PFAS-free for 2026 compliance? Yes — manufactured with non-fluorinated stain-resistant topcoat aligned with 2026 EPA PFAS phase-down mandates for textile and upholstery applications.
- Are mounting hardware and brackets included? Cushion set only; reuses factory EZGO rear seat pan brackets. No drilling or welding required for TXT/ST/Valor platforms.
2026 Material Architecture & Manufacturing Deep-Dive
The rear seat cushion set is constructed using a three-layer bonded substrate system that Koeep’s 2026 supply chain qualifies under ISO 9001:2015 certified textile lamination protocols. The top layer is a 28 oz/yd² expanded vinyl (PVC-P) calendered film with a proprietary UV inhibitor package (benzotriazole + HALS), bonded under heat and pressure to a 2.2 lb/ft³ HR polyurethane foam core. The bottom scrim is a 70-denier polyester needle-punched backing that prevents foam delamination during thermal cycling (−20°F to 180°F validated range). Thread assembly uses Tex 135 UV-stabilized bonded polyester with 4 SPI lock-stitch construction on all perimeter seams, eliminating thread-wick moisture ingress.
⚠ Compatibility Note: This cushion set is designed for the standard non-suspended rear flip-seat kit (EZGO P/N 72319-G01 platform). It is not compatible with the EZGO Liberty Elite’s suspended rear seat assembly or the 2026 EZGO Liberty LSV integrated rear bucket configuration. Verify your rear seat pan profile before ordering.

Diagnostic FAQ: 2026-Specific Failure Indicators
▶ Indicator DTC-SC-01: Premature surface cracking (<2 years) on 2026 Valor models
Root Cause: Insufficient UV stabilizer loading in OEM 24 oz vinyl combined with 2026 Valor’s open-storage design exposing the rear seat to sustained direct UV. Resolution: Replace with the Koeep 28 oz cushion set featuring benzotriazole-HALS dual-action UV protection validated to 500 hours ASTM G154.
▶ Indicator DTC-SC-02: Foam compression set >15% after 12 months fleet use
Root Cause: OEM 1.8 lb/ft³ foam density insufficient for high-cycle commercial fleet applications (golf course, resort shuttle). Resolution: The Koeep 2.2 lb/ft³ HR foam achieves <8% compression set at 50% deflection per ASTM D3574, extending service intervals to 4–5 years in fleet duty cycles.
▶ Indicator DTC-SC-03: Thread seam separation at rear bench fold hinge line
Root Cause: OEM Tex 90 thread with 3 SPI single-stitch construction fails under cyclic shear loading when the rear seat flips for cargo mode. Resolution: Koeep’s Tex 135 bonded polyester at 4 SPI lock-stitch with stress-distribution back-tacking at hinge-line corners eliminates this failure mode.
▶ Indicator DTC-SC-04: Color fade Delta-E >5 on black cushions within 18 months (ST Sport)
Root Cause: Black pigment photodegradation in OEM vinyl under high-UV environments (desert/coastal regions). Resolution: Koeep’s carbon-black-loaded vinyl with HALS stabilization maintains ΔE <3.0 over 5-year equivalent UV exposure, verified via SAE J2412 xenon-arc testing.
