Everything is a trade off: I happen to LOVE how the clear seat covers protected my precious upholsery from a certain cut/rip, at some unknown time, when I (apparently) sat down on the seat with something hard and pointy sticking out of a pocket. Nast little permanent-partial depression in the clear vinyl. I also love how the plastic allows the occupants to SLIDE onto, across, and out of the seats, instead of GRINDING into them. The vinyl seat covers also tend to reinforce the upholstery, firming up their support. The clear vinyl also brightens up the interior, creating a reflective appearance like a clear-coat on exterior paintwork. I don't park in direct sunlight, so the seats rarely get sticky; when they're newly installed, the vinyl can be tacky-sticky, but that condition fairly quickly goes away, and the vinyl ends up feeling like an all-vinyl OEM interior. I'm sorry, what was the down-side, to them, again? Oh yeah; they can get sticky in the summertime--LOLOLOL Neil Vedder ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1 --- Begin Message --- |
