Seat covers for leather seats

Ian2017 · Feb 5, 2018

Looking for seat covers to protect the Alcantara seats that came with pre-registered Cali Ocean.
All the tight fitting covers (eg brand up etc) have a caveat that they are only for covering the cloth seats- presumably there is a subtle difference in seat contour between the standard cloth seats and the leather optional seats.
Can anybody recommend suitable covers for the Alcantara other than the very loose fitting Inka style ?

I'm not sure it's correct to describe the INKAs as 'very loose'. Sure they don't fit like Brandrup's, but they are not far behind (I have sets of each, so no axe to grind).
The ones in the Club Shop may be 'in between' and suit you.
You'll be asked why you want covers on Alcantara which recovers so well from use. Have you got a dog?

No dog but 2 children and cream coloured (sorry moonrock grey!) seats is a little anxiety provoking combination

Folks will be along to give real world experiences of alcantara. From memory, those who have had it have been very impressed by its practicality!

My attempts to help in this thread was opportune as I've just bought a 6 month old Ocean with Alcantara seats!
The next owner will love them, but in the meantime I need to protect them from my muddy dog who has free reign in the van.

I'm assuming the VW Waterproof ones (ie INKA with Ocean logo sewn on), and the INKA supplied ones will fit? I've read the Brandrup 2nd skins won't fit, but I'm hoping that's just because they are SO fitted.

Anyone fitted waterproof to Alcantara seats (that they didn't order)?
