Covers for Leather Seats

[discovery4]

Hi All and Happy New Year.


I have an MY13 D4 and was wondering what advice is offered by those owners who 'go bush' from time to time about protecting their leather seats.


I guess a seat cover but not sure of which type. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks
Bob

The ones from Exmoor Trim are good quality and airbag compatible.

Leather is remarkably good and lasts well. I was going to but didn't bother. No regrets.

I have fitted sheepskin to the front seats and velour to the rear seats of both the D2 (which the son now owns) and the D4 - from Prestige Sheepskin.

Their factory is in Malaga in Perth, but they have agencies all over Australia. Very good product - custom made to suit the vehicle (even have the Landrover logo in the centre of the backrest of the front seats).

I find that they are much more comfortable on long trips than the original leather. They're easy to keep clean - and are much cooler to sit on in hot sunny conditions (my D4 has black leather interior).

sheepskin is definitely cooler. :BigThumb:

These are on my D4...

Pass the dog test really well too....

These are on my D4...How do they compare with leather for feel and comfort and how well does the surface of the leather tolerate them?

The stitching in the centre of my driver's seat base is coming undone and the synthetic sides are cracking.

So far so good Graeme
No marks on the back seats which have been on longest and tolerate the dogs jumping and bouncing all over them.

I cleaned and treated the leather before fitting the covers and they look like new.

The seats feel just like sitting on a wetsuit.

Added bonus is less sliding around offroad :)

I might have to find a wetsuit, having not ever been near one.

Personally I love sitting on leather.
On road, off road, doesn't matter.
Last 5 cars all had leather.
Easy to keep clean. Wipe down with a moist microfiber cloth when the car gets a bath. Apply leather conditioner every 6-12 months, easy to do, doesn't take long.
Why get a car with leather if you don't sit on it?

I like leather upholstery as well. However, I don't necessarily enjoy the back of my legs being burnt when I jump in the car on a hot day.

Leather not as bad as the old fashioned vinyl upholstery when I was a kid:o
Window tint and a windscreen shade work for me to prevent the burn. And I have black leather

My previous Pajero, which went off-road, had unprotected leather, and lasted well for 9 years until I traded it.

Currently not going with any covers.

Had these in my D3 and currently in my D4. Stunning product and I know they ship worldwide.
