Leather seats give you....ummmmm....swamp azz!!

Post by Dreamrsmom »

OK gang, I need some help. This will be my first year with the leather seats in my Baja. I live in Las Vegas, so the temps will get up to 115 degrees on the outside of the vehicle, and will be like HELL on the inside. I'm going to need a suggestion for seat covers. I need something that will be much, much cooler in the summer. Short of replacing the seats with cloth, any ideas??? HELP, the hot weather is just around the corner.
Thanks, Ann~

Sorry, no suggestions here, just commiseration. I used to live in Phoenix and well remember frying my legs on hot seats when wearing shorts. Actually I don't get leather seats at all. Baja seats are very poor anyway and the cheap leather insert and vinyl and is slick and doesn't hold a person in place when driving. The quick-to-break-down foam doesn't help any either. I am replacing them with cloth Recaro seats which are much more comfortable and supportive and won't sizzle butts in hot weather. But I will miss the Baja logo.
