Rear cushions wear out before anything else on a golf cart. The backrest faces the sky all day, rain pools on the bottom pad, and every passenger drags in dirt on their shoes. Give it a few seasons and the bench is flat, pale and stained.

You do not have to live with it. The Black Golf Cart Rear Seat Cushion Set replaces both rear cushions in one order. It is cut for the EZGO TxT, ST, ST Sport and Valor, and it bolts to the seat frame you already own. No cutting, no drilling, no modifications — a straight swap in classic black.

What comes in the box

The set is complete, so you are not hunting for a matching backrest a week later.

• Bottom seat cushion — the pad passengers sit on.
• Backrest cushion — the pad their backs lean on.
• Mounting hardware for the backrest.

Both cushions come finished in the same classic black. That matters if only half your bench is wrecked: order the set anyway, because loose colors rarely match across brands.

Why the rear bench goes first

The rear bench has the hardest job on the cart. It has no roof over it, so the sun beats on the backrest all day.

UV light fades the color and dries out the surface. Rain then sits in the seams long after you park.

Once a cover cracks, the padding underneath drinks water and never fully dries. Wet foam goes flat and lumpy, and it starts to smell. The waterproof, UV-resistant finish on this set is aimed straight at that cycle — it resists fading from sun and shrugs off moisture and light rain.

Five signs yours are done

Not sure whether your bench is worth saving? Run down this list:

• The black has gone gray or chalky where the sun hits.
• The surface shows small cracks, especially along the top edge of the backrest.
• The pad stays flat when you press it — no bounce back.
• It still feels damp a day or two after rain.
• Stains will not lift even after a soap wash.

One yes is a maybe. Two or more means the padding underneath has already given up, and a wipe-down will not fix it.

Will it fit your cart

Check the model before anything else. This set is made for four EZGO bodies:

• EZGO TxT
• EZGO ST
• EZGO ST Sport
• EZGO Valor

If your cart has no rear seat at all, cushions alone will not help. The rear flip seat for EZGO TxT carts is the other route — a full seat with frame and black cushions already fitted, for TxT carts from 1994.5 up. Fit that first and the cushion question is solved at the same time.

The short version

Still weighing it up? The sister guide for this same cushion set covers the ordering and fitment questions in more depth.

How to install it

This is a hand-tools job, not a workshop job. The cushions mount straight onto the rear seat frame that is already on the cart:

1. Take the old cushions off the rear seat frame.
2. Clean the frame properly. Dirt left under the new pad wears it from below.
3. Set the new bottom cushion in place and secure it.
4. Mount the backrest cushion with the provided hardware.
5. Sit on it, shift your weight, and check for movement. Make your final adjustments.

No brackets to bend, no wiring, no trimming. If a hole does not line up, stop there — a fitment mismatch is almost always the reason.

One thing to know before you start: these cushions are designed for rear seat kits. A set that has been altered may not be returnable, so check the fit before you cut or drill anything.

Keeping black cushions black

Black hides dirt well, but sun damage shows on it first. Five habits do most of the work:

• Wipe the cushions down with a damp cloth after dusty or wet rides.
• Use mild soap and water when they need a real clean.
• Skip harsh chemicals — they dull the finish faster than the sun does.
• Park under cover when the cart is not in use.
• Apply a UV protectant spray now and then.

None of that takes more than a few minutes. It is the difference between cushions that fade in a season and cushions that still look right years later.

Front bench, same story

Rear passengers are not the only ones sitting on tired foam. If the front bench is cracked too, the front cushion seat cover for the EZGO TxT matches this set in color. Other seat covers and interior trim pieces live in the interior collection, so you can redo the whole cabin in one pass.
