Moisture

Seat covers are made of leather and they are also made of fabrics. Moisture harms both these types of covers.

Kids and Pets

Toddlers are adorable no doubt, but most families would agree that they end up damaging the interiors of the automobile. And you cannot do much about it. They may spill a drink, and the covers can also get stained from chunks of chocolate and cake. Your pampered pets can also do a lot of damage. They scratch the seat covers and often stain them with their saliva.

Friction

Friction is caused when you get in out the vehicle frequently. Though this may apparently look like a simple task, but it ends up degrading the surface. Friction causes the texture of your clothing to grate against the surface of the upholstery leading to stress to the covers. When the body and the seat rub against the material, it steadily damages the upholstery waning out the strength.

UV Damage

We cannot live without the Sun, but the same Sun can cause damage too. Extended exposures can harm the skin and the eyes, and also the automobile upholstery. This damage is caused by the UV rays of the Sun. The upholstery gets affected with continuous direct exposure and it has a bleaching effect. An overdose of ultra violet radiation will turn your attractive dark blue and black seat covers into a dull and faded purple or ashen. Stop this TODAY – get year-round protection with a snazzy set of seat covers.

These covers are specially crafted from the exact make and model measurements, and thus they allow full functionality of the various features of the seat such as head rests, the ergonomic controls and others. Every portion is taken into account, and these made-to-measure seat covers will fit like they were factory-installed. Vital safety installations like airbags are not obstructed as well.

Semi-Custom Fit Seat Covers are economical but they are not as effective as Custom covers. That is because the fit is not so perfect. But they are nevertheless better than the Universal type. These covers are not for you as they will not let you use all the features of the seat such as the side-impact airbags.
