The 99 model has gray velour SE seats that have held up incredibly well over the years. I think if I rug doctor them again they will look like new.

So I've been using old sheets to cover the driver seat to keep it from becoming soiled especially since I spend time rolling around on the ground under the car for various projects. It works to keep the seats from becoming soiled.

So I was thinking about getting a set of low-cost slipcovers for the seats to protect the original velour.

Does anyone have experience with any covers like the ones in the link below?

 

Craig, I showed you those "iggee" covers I bought and honestly, based on my experience with super-cheap covers as compared to these, I'd never recommend anything else.

Although these were $179, they're pretty friggin awesome.

 

I can see that. The cheap ones will most likely just come apart within a year.

 

I have never used seat covers in my maximas but a place that has cheap stuff (but not always at cheap prices - buyer beware) is jcwhitney.com. I used to go to the retail store before the old man died and the kids closed it. I don't know if they will have what you are looking for.

 

I remember my parents bought a new Mercury in 1966. They quickly had the seats covered with clear seat covers -- like the ones in the picture. They worked. The seats were like new when they got rid of it 5 years later.

Though functional, it was extremely uncomfortable on a long hot summer trip.

As I grew up, putting seat covers on everything - house furniture, cars - as soon as you got it was the norm. I remember asking why and was told that it was so that the next owner would get a nice looking item. I never understood the logic to doing that. If I buy something, I'm going to use/enjoy it. The hell with a possible future owner. When I get done with a car, it's junkyard material. Toss in a gallon of gas and a lit match.

i just need a drivers side cover, the rest of mine are perfect.

 

Ewwwwwwww

There's nothing like having to take off your wears with a paint scraper! LOL

 

Convert the car to right hand drive and you'll be good for another 20+ years!

 

I can't take looking at my horribly ripped interior anymore and finally broke down and bought seat covers.

I ordered the Iggee S-Leather ones for front and back.

I was in Pep Boys and almost pulled the trigger on a set that didn't cover the sides and then when I got back in my car and checked, the sides absolutely need to be covered. It looks like a dog took a few bites out of the sides and a wolf ate out the middle of both seats!

Thanks for posting the pic of the beige seat covers... Hope mine looks that good when it's installed.

 

This is why I put racing seats in my car

 

Installation advice ...

Fully remove the seats.

 

got my seats from a member in here like 8-9 years ago for 100 bux. not only did he take the old ones out, but he waited for me to clean up a bit before he put the new ones in.93 degree day, and he kept my old seats, gave him my last 10 smackers for the trouble and went on my way.

 

Halfway point
Passenger seat cover installed (with full removal) and looks great. Took me nearly 2 hours with my limited experience dealing with the damn plastic cover on the bottom right but eventually I cut a tiny hole in the old seat leather and threaded the seat cover strap down behind that plastic cover since I couldn’t get it off.

The drivers side is power so I’m sure I will have similar challenges.
