Orange Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Having spent an extended lunch break trying to find a set, I'm all out of ideas. I have a set of Cobra sports seats like these from Halfords (no I didn't spend that much on them) and I would like to protect them from dirt and grime so that SWMBO can still come out for a play on the odd occasion and not bend my ear about the state of her sit-upon!! Any ideas of a source for some waterproof covers? I've tried Exmoor, Halfords, ebay and a whole host of other motor accessory places, but to no avail!! Most of them offer standard covers, but the side bolsters and shoulder supports won't allow them to fit... TIA Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 thinking laterally - you could waterproof the wife instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 But that would get all over the seat and go all sticky in the summer ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I have always rather favoured OE vinyl seats... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I could be more helpful and suggest trying your local agricultural emporium. My local one had loads. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I got a set of the blue waterproof covers from Argos for my work car as they were cheap. Having used them continuously for best part of 7 years they are still fine and I want to get the rear seat version too. However, I have side airbags in the seats and they are rendered useless with seat covers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Jase/Paul - Ta for the UK Covers link. I shall be investigating further. Walfy - I already have a body bag in the garage for when I replace the patio....;-) It won't need a window..... Night Train - The seats are too wide at the shoulders to get standard ones over... I tried with my Exmoor trim set from the Disco!! Chris - as ever, your practicality hits home hard, but I paid substantially less for the seats I have than I would have for a decent (or new) set of LR vinyl ones!! And these are wonderfully comfortable, if a tad prone to collecting mud. I had a look around an agricultural supplies place on my way to Hastings the other day and they only stocked standard ones.
