Default Seat Protector

Does anyone know of a product made to protect the left side of the driver seat where the seat belt rubs and where it gets rubbed by the driver's butt when entering and exiting the vehicle?

What you need is a set of seat Corvette Bolster Bikini .
I believe Mid America sells them, I had a set and they do work.

I've had the Mid America bolster bikinis in my car for about 2 years - they are about worn thorugh now but thats much better than the wear being on the seat bolster - Mine are black but I see now they come in blu or red also. At $49 I can just replace them every couple of years- note the seats look very good underneath the covers - no wear.

The bolster bikinis are a good product. Or you can just buy a nice set of seat covers and protect the whole seat. I'm running a set from Ecklers and they really do protect the seats.
