Hey all,
summer is very close upon us and its starting to get very hot on the vinyl seats, to the point of me sweating on the seats. i am wanting to get some seat covers....i have the standard lowback vinyl seats. what seat covers will fit these seats or am i better off just getting throwovers? Pics of what seat covers you have in your minis would be great if u have the lowback seats. (jus the front seats im worried bout)
cheers

We have a set on Morris and they are wearing thin, so then need replacing.

No Pics sorry, I just got some cheap velour seat covers that have the seperate head rest piece, turn them inside out and stitch up the top opening (cos there is no headrest.), then stretch them over, and tie them to fit.

No problems at all!

I used black, so you couldn't see seams were in the 'wrong' place (further down on the actual seat rather in the corner), and they tied a bit further around at the bottom.

It's basically a matter of make your own, but I found this small mod was easy and gave me some good seat covers (till the cat slept in there one night when I left the window down a few inches..... They are in the bin now!!)

Cheers
matt

um it doesnt specify what make of car it is for or anything of that nature. just that it is for "regular size bucket seats" and "size 30/45" like i said it isnt the tightest of fits but it gets the job done.
