CHOOSE
FIT WISELY
To get the most protection and
from your seat covers it is vital to
make sure you get covers customtailored to your vehicle model.
A set of $29 slip-over universal
covers from the local discount
store won't provide long-lasting
protection or stand up to the day
in, day out use and abuse from
the professional user.
Additionally, most universal
covers are made from a thin polyester weave that wears quickly
and is neither waterproof nor
stain resistant.
According to Rick Messmore
of Covercraft Industries, a maker
of custom-tailored seat covers,
consumers often mistake the
"universal fit" seat covers for the
more durable custom-tailored
style.
"The universal fit cover is more
like a protective drape laid over
the seats than it is a proper seat
cover," says Messmore. "They are
more a fashion item than they are
a protective item and not suitable
for professional use."
Fashion, not protection, is why
so many universal covers come
emblazoned with frogs, fairies,
logos and other designs, and
why they are so inexpensive.
The buyers of these tend to be
younger and will often change
out their seat covers to suit the
particular automotive fashion
trends of the moment.
