Hardcore Tech: Vinyl vs cloth

[laketex]

I've got a cloth back seat right now, but recently picked up a vinyl one to swap out since the top is off all summer and the cloth one gets sopping wet. But then I got to thinking about how hot that seat might get in the summer. So Vinyl or cloth, which shall it be???

I say cloth, even though it does get wet, the padding on the vinyl still will. And if you park in the sun for an hr, go into Wal-Mart, come back out, and somebody sits in that vinyl backseat wearin shorts or something. Your gonna be peeling baked on skin off the seat.

Put the vinyl one in and get a cloth seat cover for it.

If your cloth one is nice, then store it or sell it. Then run the vinyl one with a Wet Okle(sp?) seat cover that is water resistant(maybe water proof).. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

There ya go. Put a water proof seat cover on it. I took the doors off the Blazer the other day and got to thinkin about my newsed (new/used) leather Porsche seats so I got some water proof covers and I'm happy I did cuz it rained that night and the water just puddled. I scooped the water out let it set for a couple of minutes and was good to go. Good luck to y'all in the future.

I think this belongs in the Center of Gravity forum....

Yeah, I thought about that, but then I figured it was too hardcore for there even! The XTREME nature of this post just gives me goosebumps! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif[/img]

...hmmmm....where did you get your waterproof seat covers? wet oklee is kinda pricey...

A Wet Okole cover would be about $225... www.wetokole.com

After a search on google, I found these:

www.seatcovers.net $195

http://www.autoenhance.com/neoprenetf.html $189

http://www.seatcoversunlimited.com/M...egory_Code=001 $145

http://www.autoanything.com/seatcove...t=yes&cat= $225


Or try a local boat cover place and see if they will make you some. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I'd say cloth, much easier to make the beast with two backs on cloth than vinyl...and if the passengers don't like sittin on a soggy seat tell 'em to get their own forkin' truck! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
