Seat covers for 3rd generation runners #421583 03/21/04 08:13 PM

Hey guy's ,
I'm looking for cheapo covers to prevent my sweat and grime from killing the seats. The wings on the seat prevent standard covers from hugging the seat . You get a springloaded trampoline effect across the back of the seat.
Anyone got any advice or product choices. All of perf products seat covers are too pricey. I'm really looking for a product that someone has actually used, otherwise it's a crapshoot.

How about Great covers Clearance section, I have seen their auctions on Ebay, they look to be nice fitting covers for under 100 bucks.

Holy long URL Mike!!! (I'll fix it for ya <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />) I like those better than mine.

Anyhow, I have a pair of these for camping, summer hiking, etc.: Link.

Not super stylish, but for $25.00 a pop they work just fine.

My biggest problem is the fit across the back of the seat.
most covers stretch across and create a high tension trampoline effect. Any report on that issue with the above recommended covers?? Kenny S

Mine fit pretty loose, kind of like a big, shaped nylon bag. They are definitely not for looks. They don't look terrible, but they aren't upholstery either. If I get a chance, I'll put one on and take a picture.

By far the cheapest seat covers that work the best for me has been the large terry cloth bath towels. I've kept one on my front seat since I purchased my rig and the seat looks new still.

Ditto Bruce...I did the same thing. My rig has a black exterior and a tan (oak) interior. I picked up three nice towells that are black & tan and they do the trick. the third one covers the bottom part of the back seat. When they get dirty you just toss them in the wash! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

WOW!! terry cloth towels..........I would never have thought?? #421592 03/30/04 05:00 AM

Thanks for the tip.A 3 by 5 ft towel will cover the whole seat and I'll just get a small one for the headrest.
The best part is that the terrycloth material sticks to the cloth seat like glue!! a few safety pins and I'll be in business.
No moving or sliding. Very impressive!
Thanks, Kenny S <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
