Proactive protection of seats reference

All automobile seats are subjected to a number of perils everyday, which include:

Moisture
When it gets wet, it becomes tacky to the touch - a sign that the leather's natural oils are being washed out. Cloth seating is also prone to damage from moisture. When water seeps into factory-installed fabric, it can fester and grow into ugly, stinky, disgusting mold. Never fear; our seat covers come in a wide selection of materials with varying degrees of water resistance to protect your interior. It matters little whether you're driving home from an outing at the local pool, a kayaking trip or an endless summer's day of surfing, the moisture in your clothing can lead to serious problems for your upholstery. Never again let this happen.

Kids and Pets
The kids are so adorable, but they can cause a lot of damage too. And the worst part is, you cannot even say harsh words to them when they cause this damage. There can be drink spills, and chunks of chocolate on the seat, all leading to damage. The same goes for your furry, four-legged friend. Pets can scratch up the material and saliva too can lead to damage.

Friction
Getting in and out of the vehicle is not that simple. Though you do it daily, but did you know that this simple task can put stress on your seats. Like sandpaper on a jagged block of wood, the texture of clothing grates against the texture of the upholstery. This constant friction between the body and the seat steadily damages the upholstery. And so, slowly, the strength of the leather or fabric starts to wane. Get a seat cover to stop this from happening.

UV Damage
Though UV ultra violet Phototherapy has opened out newer vistas in the medical world, too much sun exposure is not good for our skin and eyes while it certainly is harmful to automobile upholstery. Leather is especially susceptible to sun damage because UV radiation dries out the natural oils in the leather. Without these oils keeping things moist, the leather will eventually start to crack. Cloth upholstery is also in danger. Direct sunlight on your fabrics has a bleaching effect. Where once your seats were dark blue or black, an overdose of ultra violet radiation will leave your seats looking purple or ashen. Since you can't always park in the shade, you can give yourself year-round protection with a snazzy set of seat covers.

Guide to covering your damaged seats
If the interior of your vehicle has suffered, like from a leaking pen or a torn seam that's threatening to unravel completely, you need not worry too much anymore. No, there is no need for a re-upholstering job. Instead of calling up your dealer for new seats, you can simply slide a new set of seat covers directly over the old ones. No muss, no fuss- just great looking seat covers that fit like gloves. However, there are three different fitting seat covers, the < Custom Fit > < Semi-custom Fit > and  < Universal Fit >.

Custom Fit Seat Covers are simply great. Cut and stitched to fit the unique shapes and contours of the particular automobile, it has been meticulously designed for a precise fit over your seats. No part of your vehicle's seat is forgotten or overlooked - not the position of the head rest, nor the location of the seat's ergonomic controls or where your seatbelts are mounted. Everything is taken into consideration, and these made-to-measure seat covers will fit like they were factory-installed. Custom-fit seat covers will not obstruct your seat's side-impact airbags, so you'll be just as secure as before, only with better looking and better protected upholstery.

Semi-Custom Fit Seat Covers are great too because they are economical. Coverking’s semi-custom fit seat covers do not leave access to lumbar controls, and they should not be used if you have side-impact airbags on your vehicle. They deliver fantastic protection against the whole gamut of seating hazards. They are stitched together following patterns that will work with your vehicle's seats as well as with similarly sized seats in other cars, trucks and SUVs.

Universal Seat Covers will fit any high-back or low-back bucket seat, regardless of the make, model or the year of manufacture. Like the semi-custom seat covers, the universal seat covers should not be used on seats with side-impact airbags. Rather than being used as long-term coverings, Coverking’s universal seat covers are a perfect companion in your vehicle for when life gets a little messy. They install in seconds, so you can slip them on when you need them and store them away in your trunk when you don't.
