Has anyone else run into the following issue, and resolved it to their satisfaction?
We hardly ever buy a new car, and are about as used to new cars as we are to new babies (and unlike babies, new cars keep undergoing design changes!)
So, we just bought a new car with light gray leather seats. Although we keep it in the garage at night, it will bake in parking lots during the day, and we'd like to protect the seats from sunlight as well as from perspiration when we wear shorts, etc.
Unfortunately, the airbag sensors are in the seats, and my research says car seat covers could interfere with these. Also, the "seat covers" I've found online are butt-ugly (pun intended!) and sold for the purpose of disguising seats that are even uglier than the covers.
So, short of flinging bath towels over the seats, what can be done to protect them safely?
Thanks,
Amethyst
