So my seats are starting to look pretty rough and I would like to get replacement seat covers. I would rather go with Vinyl than leather, mainly for durability. Everywhere I have seen online only offers leather though.

Has anyone used vinyl? What were the results and where can I find them.

 

You might want to try leather repair like Magic Mender. Works darn well even on really rough / big tears. Cost about $40 for a kit, perfect color matching.

 

The seats are torn in several places, I really just want to replace them.

The car gets caught in the rain without a top a few times a year and that does not do the leather well. I had a previous convertible with vinyl seats and they held up to rain a lot better.

 

Try lseat.com. They make inexpensive leather seat covers ($349), but also offer a vinyl on their website. Might have to contact them for that option. I bought the leather versions for another car, and bought matching vinyl from them to do my door cards.

If you just want pull over type seat covers, try Iggee.com

 

Thanks. Shot them an email.

 

I have used vinyl as a cloth replacement in the past and that resulted in probably the best seats i have had.

I personally wouldn't shy away from vinyl.

 

I love vinyl too, but here in the extreme heat of the Middle East, I find plastic seats give me a sweaty bottom. I often pull up to a service station to go to the toilet to wipe dry the butt cheeks and the crack.

 

Laughed out loud. Assembled throng asked what I was laughing about, response divided by sex lines.

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

yes, John Skinner Mfg. Ltd. in the Uk.

they are going to do my XJ-6 seat covers in vinyl. I've had it with leather. I have a friend with a 1967 Jaguar 340 (MK-2) that came from the factory with vinyl seat covers and they are like new with a nice age patina.

John Skinner's trim shop is world class, they have a great reputation for quality work.

they will also sell you the covers in vinyl and you install them.
