Hi
I would like to get some good quality sheepskin seatcovers for our Signature Coupe' and have some questions.

I have used regular (albeit good quality) sheepskin covers on other cars but never on leather seats. Do good sheepskin covers protect leather seats over the long term?

Is there an "off the shelf" product out there?

What sort of price range for good covers?

With custom made covers, is there someone who does HSVs regularly?

Hopefully someone can recommend a supplier.

Thanks.
Cheers
Nick.

Hi Nick.

If you car has side airbags in the seat side cushions (as my VX Calais has), you must use the genuine seat covers which are made to not interfere with the airbags.

Mortels up here make them to suit airbags and leather seats. I got some made for my new SR5 Hilux with airbags. Full sheepskin covers are about $375 each (plus whatever they have to line them with for leather) and they take about 3 hours to measure, make and fit.

Don't mean to sound rude, but if you want the best in sheep skin covers for your car.

Try New Zealand :)

Not to sound rude but I thought the Kiwi's were experts in sheepskin covers for the other object that males cherish and value the most. ( the one not kept in the garage) ; )
