Default Question re Seatcovers

The vinyl seats in HOOTERS are soooo hot in the summer. I am looking for seatcovers to go over them. All I have been able to find are the poly/cotton type that are just loose slipcovers.

Are there others available? I want something that fits tight, perhaps like the neoprene ones that are available for c4s and c5s.

Thanks for any info!

Liz

HOOTERS ? Is that the plate on your C3 ?

Anyway, I wouldn't put any cover on the seats unless it was
real thick genuine sheepskin ... cool in the heat and warm in the cold.
Perhaps you don't have the second case - but that's my opinion and choice.

I've had the same sheepskin in my DD Buick for 13 years now - still love it.

Hey Liz. Long time no see.

I saw someone on here made some white cotton terry cloth seat covers. They looked like they should be cooler than black. Last time I had mine out, I almost melted it was so hot.

Hmm. Let's see. I removed the seat. Women pinned terrycloth, got out some fancy schmancy sewing machine, attached stretchy material to it, sewed in a hood and next thing I knew I had functional, though not terribly beautiful seat covers for the 100 degree drive through the desert valleys in California.
