    Pop into your local motor factors that supply truckers,garages and farmers and actually carry useful things like filters,fuses etc.Ask them for a set of mechanic seat covers,not the cheapo plastic once or twice use.These are a tough HD nylon affair usually in grey or green.Cost about 20 quid,but are designed for tractors,jeeps etc. Bought a set a year ago and the amount of wet dogs and ud that has ended up on them is unbeliveable.A hose and yard brush is all they need for cleaning.Dunno if they do them for a rear bench though. In that case Ebay or Cabelas.com is your friend.

    If Your in Dublin or nearby go to Alba Automotive in Santry, i use them for re covering and repairs on seats and they do full leather and man made leather retrims that are second to none. I sell new Mercedes and would have no hesitation in handing them a brand new one for a full interior retrim

    Although very effective id never put them in a new vehicle that wasn't purely for work, they look awful

    I've had my seats recovered in man-made leather for the last 7 years and find them very hard wearing and ideal for most out door pursuits. Can't recommend any one as the company I used are gone.
    I also have a set of heavy duty mechanics nylon covers I use when kayaking as I often just drive back home in my wetsuit the covers protect the seats from salt water.

    Iv seen their work and wouldn't recommend them for anything other than a taxi. The ones iv seen have been very bad fitting and look like aeat covers as apposed to re upholstered seats. The company i mentioned above do factory quality work with airbag approved stitching ect and perfect fit

    Iv no connection with this company other than being a happy repeat customer
