Proactive protection of seats reference

All automobile seats are subjected to a number of perils everyday, which include:

Moisture
Seat covers often gets wet and it becomes tacky to the touch. This happens when that the leather's natural oils get washed out. Similarly cloth seating is also prone to damage from moisture. Factory-installed fabric festers and grows into ugly and stinky mold when water seeps into it. And so it needs to be protected. We have designed and created a wide selection of water resistant materials that will protect them. So even if you are driving home from an outing at the local pool, a kayaking trip or an endless summer's day of surfing you must not worry as the moisture in your clothing will not harm  your upholstery.

Kids and Pets
Your adorable, pampered furry four legged friend often damages the upholstery. Pet scratches and saliva too can cause damage that is difficult to repair. Kids can cause a lot of damage too and you cannot even say harsh words to them when they cause this damage. There can be drink spills, and chunks of chocolate on the seat, all leading to damage. But you can take precautions to ensure that these damages do not harm you.

Friction
Getting in and out of the vehicle may appear a simple job, but did you know that this apparently simple job can cause a lot of stress on your seats? Like sandpaper on a jagged block of wood, the texture of clothing grates against the texture of the upholstery. This constant contact between the body and the seat causes friction and it steadily damages the upholstery. As a result the strength of the leather or the fabric begins to wane. Get a seat cover to stop this from happening.

UV Damage
Too much sun exposure is not only harmful for our skin and eyes, but it certainly damages the automobile upholstery too. Seat cover made of leather is especially susceptible to sun damage. These UV radiation drains out the natural oils in the leather and without these oils keeping things moist, the leather will start to crack eventually. Cloth upholstery gets affected if exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. This has a bleaching effect and it makes fabrics colorless and dull. As shaded parking lots are not available always, you must give your seat covers year-round protection with a snazzy set of seat covers.

Guide to covering your damaged seats
Often seat covers get stained from lipstick marks, pen leaks and spills. A torn seam might also contribute to a shabby look for your upholstery.  No, there is no need for a re-upholstering job. Instead of calling up your dealer for new seats, you can simply purchase a set of strong seat covers and slide this new set directly over the old ones. No muss, no fuss - just great looking seat covers that fit like gloves.

But which cover do you select? There are 3 options for you to select from and they are the Custom seat covers, Semi Custom seat covers and Universal seat covers.

Custom Fit Seat Covers are customized to fit the unique shapes and contours of the particular automobile. The covers are meticulously designed to offer the exact fitting at all times, and so the protection is comprehensive. The good thing about these covers is that no part of your vehicle's seat is forgotten or overlooked and even the position of the head rest and the location of the seat's ergonomic controls or where your seatbelts are mounted are taken into consideration. These made-to-measure seat covers will fit like they were factory-installed. If you have side impact airbags, these covers will make an excellent choice as unlike other covers, they will not obstruct your seat's side-impact airbags.

Semi-Custom Fit Seat Covers are the economical alternatives. However semi-custom fit seat covers does not leave access to lumbar controls and hence vehicles that have side-impact airbags should not be using these covers. Since these covers are not made from the make and model measurements, they either end up being too tight or too loose. The fitting is rarely perfect.

Universal seat covers are developed regardless of the make, model or the year of manufacture. Vehicles with side impact airbags must not be fitted with these seat cover as they hinder these safety systems. Because of this, these covers are never recommended.
