Seat Covers - which ones!!

Yep, gotta agree. I've had my candy Canvas covers for over 4 years and they fit and "work" well.
Probably the only gripe I've got is that the stretchy cords to hold them on are a bit untidy, but what the hell, that only affects the ankle biters in the back seat.
They wash well and dry quickly. Still look as good as new.

We also have a set of Takla covers. We wanted waterproof as we have dogs and the fact we go to the beach so often and get in the car wet.

We've had them now for 4 years and unlike the Big W throw away sheep skin, these still look as good as new. Have never had a tear or damage of any sort despite the dogs and their nails, etc. Definately worth the $$$.

We take them off now and again and the seats look as good as new underneath.

Mate has Black Duck and they are just as good.

I'm not sure about the notion that sheep skin make good 4WD covers considering the amount of times they are likely to get wet, muddy and sandy.

G'day, the ones we have show no sign of making the seat wear or fray. There has also been no experience of sweating etc.
Hope this helps....
Ours are made by Candy Canvas

Looks a better deal to me :))))

i was gunna say....whats wrong with sheepskin? they work for me

i like the recycling idea below, but the kids mut will probably win out

Canvas seat covers - protect seat underneath,Expensive, hard to clean , Long lasting but still wear through,

Cheap seat cover from kmart - Protects seat underneath, cheap, No cleaning required, just get another, Will last long enough
and LOOKS BETTER, Canvas seat covers are what the thrashbuckets at work have on

I concur. I bought a cheap.....no ridiculously cheap set of sheepskins for the wife's Fairlane at Supercrap that cost all of $20. The base and back is sheepskin, the rest some faux-fur kinda horrible sh*t. Still perfect years later.

I also put some sheepskin covers in the Patrol that cost 10 times as much. Both are still fine and the Patrol one's are currently doing their third tour of duty in the 75 series.

I've washed the Patrol ones a couple of times by just chucking them in the washing machine with a load of wool mix. They come out just fine, smell nice and haven't changed shape. The red mud that came out of them was interesting too. Considered taking out a mining lease on my seats with all the iron-ore in them (I'm a window down driver).

Yep, why go past sheepskin? Brand new they are cheap from certain stores or e-bay and they are sooo niiice to sit on, ooooh! :-)

You have to go custom fit with paratus, or call them in geelong, and ask them.

I didnt bother with mine, only paid $200 for the pair :)

Thanks Truckster, already tried them - they'll do covers OK, but not sheepskin - have found a mob in Tassie.,"The Sheep's Back" who reckon they have ready mades that may fit, or will make one up for me (the dog doesn't get an aftermarket seat :-)).

Black Duck canvas also make ones to fit, but I reckon the canvas would abrade the cloth on my seat.

Wish I could have got ONE for $200 - got mine from Paratus when I was on the way home last year, cost more than $1000 more than your pair ! :-(

got mine off sold.com.au when it was around :(
ex ambo seats.

anyway theres a dude in frankston opn beach road/st that does custom fit sheepskins, he wantd $800 for a set + the back! I laughed at him, he wasnt happy!!

You want a cheap solution?

Go to the markets, buy a length of sheepskin that would be used as a mat. $50ea tops.

Cut to size of the seat.

Sew some elastic onto the sides to create a loop to loop over the seat.
There ya have em

Did this to a bike and it lasted 4 bikes and 200,000klms - was still going when the bike was totalled..

Yea I have tried them, if you wear shorts and have hair on your legs they tear the hairs out every time you move!
