Hi guys, just joined the Skoda club on Friday and I was wondering where is best to get seat covers (all round) for the Fabia which has has standard vRS seats. The covers need to be waterproof (since im a caver, and caves are usually wet and in Yorkshire moors).

Cheers

p.s. I'm guessing its ebay though

lol thanks, I was literately just looking at them in another tab :S

I'd heard town and country seat covers are very good.

Pricey but worth it on the long run.

Like these universal ones. ---> http://www.petracycles.co.uk/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&products_id=17088&source=googlepbs

If you're climbing in covered in mud regularly they

should do the job nicely as they are apparently RESISTANT TO MUD, OIL & GREASE, STICKY SWEETS & FIZZY DRINKS

So mud shouldn't be an issue. see here ----> http://www.townandcountrycovers.com/vehicle-seat-covers/landrover.html

I think Mike B has a reccomendation or two regarding seat covers.

I bought a set of these a few mths back and fired them back as soon as I fitted them, the fit is total crap due to wide bulsters on the front seats the covers split on the seams.

I've got the 3D stretch covers, Can't fault them! I got mine when they were £15 each

At the end of the day, You only get what you pay for!

These covers really are worth the extra outlay, They fit, They do their intended job with ease & On a long drive you don't get a sweaty back/bum!

cheers, I'll look into these then. Thanks for the pointers

Lidl are this week selling cheap seat covers, which are perfect for a Fabia vRS. Not only do they cover the backs of the front seats, have separate Headrest covers, but have rear seat covers as well.

Lidl - Car Sear Cover set.

I bought a set last year, after reading this thread. Seat covers £9.99 but have gone up in price since then (now £13). The only problem with places like Aldi or lidl is they only sell curtain thing for a short time. So if you don't buy them now you'll have to wait until this time next year to buy them again.

I fitted them to my front seats when the snow was here in Dec/Jan and they are still doing fine.

However I have a feeling these are not waterproof so may not be suitable for you. The above Town & Country ones may be more suited for you.
