Seat Cover durability
I have some Wet Okole seat covers but the sun has destroyed them after about 15 months. I live in AZ and with the top down over 95% of the time including the summer I like keeping my seats covered. They still look real new after nearly 4 years and I want to keep it that way.
I learned the hard way that Neoprene doesn't hold up in extreme summer conditions out here so I was contemplating a different material seat cover. I'm thinking about going with Leather but know it gets hot.
Any thoughts on a material that would hold up much better in the sunlight ?
Thanks,

I have Wet Okole's on my Jeep. I use the seat cover care kit I ordered from them and they are holding up pretty well. Of course, I dont live in AZ. which I used to visit on business so I know how hot it gets out there. And, I dont have my top down as much as you do. Cant think of anything else but if I do I'll let you know.

Sounds like a cockpit cover might be your best option, short of a full car cover.

In that case your best option is the liberal use of leather treatment with the best UV protectant factor. The other option is to source a maker of Sunbrella type material seat covers, I doubt there are S2000 type available, but you might find a universal type to fit the S seat.
