Vinyl seats

Scimitar · 07-23-2008, 06:18 PM

My 335i has vinyl seats, dont show wear, easy to clean etc...but they do not breathe like leather & get warm in summer.
Any solutions other than sheepskin seat covers?, which are supose to be warm in winter (not so important with heated seats) & cool in summer.

Sheepskin covers feel incredible year round. I think that would be a good solution if the look is OK with you. And BTW - leather doesn't "breathe" any better than vinyl, really...

Unless it's perforated, right?

I hate when the seats get hot and sweaty. I pretty much can't open my windows and enjoy a nice sunny day when its over 80 because my back starts to sweat after like 10 minutes. 80+ and the airs on and the windows are up. I need to research some type of seat cover or something. I don't really like the look of the sheepskin though.

Looks nice and warm. How is the trade off with the summer heat?
