    Waterproof covers for FFR Leather seats until I get a tonneau or softop

    I have the FFR leather low sets. Probably shoulda stuck with the Vinyl. But it rains here in Florid 6 out of 7 days per week. So for emergency rain squals would like to find some waterproof seat covers that I could slide onto the seats.

    Wondering if anyone knows if seat covers from a production car such as a Fiat 124, MGB, Sunbeam, or VW beetle etc would fit. I am sure these seats are a fairly common size and dimension just dont know what that dimension is.

    I have not installed any cockpit carpet as yet, for the same reason. Maybe a removable piece of indoor outdoor black carpet.

    Appreciate the feedback.

    Back in the day when I had a SUnbeam Tiger or a fiat 124 spider or an alfa romeo spider veloche, I had a tonneau cover that would zip down the middle and I could drive with the drivers side open. I have not seen anything like this recently.

    If you want something to cover the entire cockpit while you are parked without dragging out the whole car cover, California Covers makes a small lightweight cover that goes over the windshield and rollbar(s). Also great as a sunshade to prevent the interior from getting too hot.

    I called them and ordered the 2 rollbar version.

    I’m in Florida as well, and feel your pain. Contact Phillip and Kay, get on of their snap less tonneau covers, they work well in the rain. I never leave home without it. As a bonus, it keeps the sun off the seats when parked, helps a lot. Don’t sweat the seats too much, the FFR leathers hold up well.
