G'day, I would like to get some sheepskin covers to stop the sweaty back that I know I'll get in the warmer months. And avoid the hot black leather seat issue after being in the sun. I had them in my NA and they were great all year round.
I've googled and there are a couple of businesses around. Any recommendations in Brisbane?
Is this even possible/advisable with air bags in seats?
Andrew.

Sheepskin is far too 'grandpa' for me...
I have DAMD quilted covers, pretty flawless fit, no problems with the airbags.
The alcantara type finish should avoid the heat and 'sweaty back' issues you mention.

They look pretty good, but I'm still after sheepskin, and I'm old enough to be a grandpa

There is probably no product quite as good as sheepskin. In Melb there is a guy in Ringwood ( Blacksheep) who has been doing them for many years. Not 100% sure if he is still on the machines. It would be worth giving him a call and get some advice.He is not far from Ringwood Mazda so he might check out a car for fitment??? I know he does interstate work. What I would do is get some lambswool and sit on it to see if its comfortable because on earlier models taller drivers would be challenged. Pile can be varied. Not sure about NDs. Airbags would need to be considered - if they are in seat side etc i.e. placement. However a bit of research by asking around the trade to see if there is local maker.
