If it wasn't 'clear' from my previous missive, ANY good upholstery shop
can install custom-fitted clear plastic seat covers on a car.
When 1st installed, they will feel tacky, but that sensation will soon
go-away, leaving you with a "feel" that will be much like that of a car
with al-vinyl interior.
You'll also notice that those covers will firm-up & support your
upholstery--you'll not sink as far into them, as before, and you SHOULD
consider installing seatbelts (which you should, already, have
installed--aftermarket belts are readily available & easy to mount).
Entry/exit will be much easier; on my just-replaced clear covers, there
was an OMINOUS pointy-depression, where a sharpish-thing (ballpoint pen
tip?) had tried to force its way into the (driver's) seat bottom, but
the clear cover "saved" the upholstery!
The plastic also brightens-up the interior, by reflecting ambient light,
and adds a brightness/depth to the upholstery, kind of like a clear-coat
paint job.
If I had a convie, I'd install the plastic covers in a heartbeat , to
protect its very vulnerable multi-$K investment.
Finally, & most curiously/amusingly, you will be approached by
passers-by, remarking upon the good condition of your "NOS/OEM" plastic
seat covers, & saying how they "recalled" them, in the past.
C-5, y'all!
