Possibly, a stupid Question.
I have an 08 vert with black interior. I LOVE my car, but I live in Tampa and it gets pretty hot. Now I love the heat as well, and would have the top down all the time, except for the fact that with the leather seats I sweat like a bitch on the seats.
First I look like I pee'd myself when I get out and second, I figure with all the salt in sweat, it can't be good for the leather. Since I have the heated seats, it's probably not good for the heating element either.
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I figured " what the hell, I've looked stupid before".
Is there any way to get after market cooled seats, preferably by retrofitting the present seats?
I am sure most of my warm weathered convertible brothers would agree it would make a huge difference in the amount of time they would spend with the top down.

As an alternative idea, Sheep Skin 's are a viable alternative. They are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I know, they went out of style a few years ago. They worked great for years and last for years.

My previous '99 had black seats so I know what you mean. My '07 has cashmere seats which are a lot cooler to get into the car with, but the downside is having to clean them once a week.
