Complete Guide to Black Golf Cart Rear Seat Cushion Set for EZGO TxT, ST, ST Sport & Valor Models

by flippancy 11 Feb 2026
Guide scope: the black rear seat cushion set — one bottom cushion plus one backrest cushion — for the EZGO TxT 1994.5-up chassis and the ST, ST Sport, and Valor (2017-up) models on the same frame family. This guide covers when a set is the right buy, when a flip seat kit is needed, the install order, and the care routine.

Torn seams, flat foam, and grey vinyl mean the trim is finished, not the frame. New cushions over sound hardware is the cheap fix. A rear seat cushion set for the 1994.5-up TxT, ST, ST Sport, and Valor models costs $108.74.

Check one thing before you buy. Cushions are trim, and trim needs a frame to sit on. If your cart has no rear seat frame, you need a full seat kit instead.

Which carts this set actually fits

Soft trim follows the seat pan, not the model badge. The pan is the flat plate under the cushion that spreads your weight. So fit is a chassis question.

This set is cut for the rear pan of the 1994.5-up E-Z-GO frame family. That covers three groups:

  • EZGO TxT 1994.5-up
  • EZGO ST and ST Sport on that same frame family
  • EZGO Valor 2017-up

It does not fit the EZGO RXV 2008-up or any Club Car. Different chassis, different pan, different part.

Why the half-year? Midway through 1994, E-Z-GO swapped the Marathon body for the Medalist on a new frame. Catalogs write 1994.5 because the change landed inside the model year.

The TxT body, the ST and ST Sport utility versions, and the Valor 2017-up all grew from that frame family.

Cushion set or flip seat? Match your cart to a case

The frame under the bench decides the purchase, not comfort.

Buy cushions with no frame and you own trim with nothing to stretch it over.

Why the frame check comes before new vinyl

Your weight never travels through the vinyl. It goes through the foam, into the pan, then into the frame rails. Vinyl is only the wear layer stretched over that structure.

A sagging bench is usually a loose fastener or a tired pan, not dead trim. Pull the old set and the rails, welds, and pan are visible again. A cracked weld found now costs a bracket; found later, the new set.

One set, one kit, real numbers

Everything in that table bolts on with hand tools and needs no programming. Soft trim and seat hardware live in the wider golf cart parts collection if a bracket turns out to be the real failure.

The frame carries the load, the pan carries the shape, and the vinyl carries the weather. Inspect the hardware before the first new fastener goes in, not after the first season out.

Keep the new vinyl alive: clean, condition, protect

Vinyl fails from the outside in. Sunlight pulls out the plasticizers, the oils inside vinyl that keep it soft, and the surface turns grey and cracks. Three steps slow that down.

  • Clean. Mild dish soap in warm water on a soft cloth. For sunscreen film or road grime, use a cleaner made for marine or RV vinyl.
  • Condition. Work in a vinyl conditioner after cleaning. It puts back what the sun drew out.
  • Protect. Apply a UV protectant on a clean, dry surface, about once a month in season.

Four habits kill a set early:

  • Solvent cleaners and bleach, which embrittle the surface
  • Pressure washers aimed at seams, which soak the foam
  • Covering or re-trimming over damp foam, which grows mildew
  • Parking in full sun with no protectant — one summer does more damage than five winters

Installation sequence, and the mistakes that cost you years

The install is a hand-tool job, and the order matters because of the inspection it forces.

  • Remove the old set and photograph the fastener positions first. Old trim shows where the lips, snaps, or hook-and-loop retention sat.
  • Inspect the rails, uprights, and pan with the trim out. Look for cracked welds, rust bleed, a soft pan, and bent uprights.
  • Set the bottom cushion on the rails and capture the pan edges. Never drag it sideways across a rail corner.
  • Bolt the backrest to the uprights, then work the underside retention center-out. Alternate side to side so the tension spreads.
  • Tighten by feel and stop before the vinyl dimples. A dimpled surface is a cut surface.
  • Handle the adjacent wear item while the rear is open. A TxT direction switch that hesitates is a bolt-in swap in the same window.

Almost every early failure happens in the first hour: a fastener pulled too tight, a set stretched over an uninspected frame, or damp foam sealed under new trim. The same chassis-by-chassis logic runs through the full guide library on the KOEEP blog.

The pre-install checklist

Work the list in order before the new set leaves the box.

  • Confirm the chassis: TxT 1994.5-up, ST or ST Sport on that family, or Valor 2017-up
  • Photograph the underside retention points before anything comes loose
  • Sight the rails for rust and the uprights for cracked welds, then press the pan for soft spots
  • Fasten center-out and stop the moment the surface stops moving
  • Finish with protectant before the cart goes back outside
Rear cushion service — the load path and the wear chain Load path: hardware carries the weight, vinyl only carries the weather Frame rails 1994.5-up chassis Cushion pan sets the shape Vinyl surface wear layer only Wear chain: what sun and water do to an unprotected set UV exposure fades, dries the surface Surface cracks start at the seams Water ingress foam soaks, dries slow Compression set bench sags at the hip Failure mode torn seams · greyed vinyl · hollow foam · loose bench Countermeasure sound frame · clean · condition · UV protect · correct set A $108.74 cushion set over a sound 1994.5-up frame outlasts a neglected one by seasons — the routine, not the price, sets the service life.
Passenger weight stops at the frame rails; sunlight and rain start at the vinyl. The hardware check and the care routine belong to the same job.

Frequently asked questions

Which models and years does this rear cushion set actually fit?

The rear pan of the 1994.5-up E-Z-GO frame family: EZGO TxT 1994.5-up, the ST and ST Sport on that family, and the Valor 2017-up. It does not fit the RXV 2008-up or the Club Car Precedent 2004-up.

My cart has no rear seat frame at all — can I just bolt on the cushion set?

No. Cushions are trim, not a seat — buy the complete rear flip seat kit for the EZGO TxT 1994.5-up at $370.14 instead.

What changed at 1994.5, and why do catalogs use that half-year?

Midway through 1994, E-Z-GO replaced the Marathon with the Medalist on a new frame, so the change landed inside the model year. Catalogs write 1994.5 to mark that split.

Will the set fit my RXV, or do I need a different part?

No — the RXV 2008-up is a different chassis with different pan geometry. The front cushion cover for the RXV 2008-up is stocked separately and does not interchange with the TxT cover.

How is the set installed, and what tools does it need?

Hand tools only: photograph the old retention points, inspect the frame with the trim off, then fit center-out and stop before the vinyl dimples. On a TxT from 1994 onward, swap a hesitating direction switch in the same window.

How do I keep the new vinyl from cracking again?

Clean with mild dish soap in warm water, condition after cleaning, and apply a UV protectant about once a month in season. Skip solvent cleaners and bleach, and keep pressure washers off the seams.

The front bench is wearing out too — is that the same part?

Same failure mode, different part. The front cushion seat cover for the EZGO TxT 1994.5-up is $45.84, and RXV and Precedent benches have their own fitment in the table above.

Re-trim the bench, or replace the seat — with the right part

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
