I've slip-covered the entire seatbacks of my Mercedes-Benz' for over 20 years. I've even slip-covered the seatback of my bought new, C7 Corvette Stingray. Never a problem now with bolsters getting worn through, or decoloring of the vinyl trims on the leather seating surfaces bucket seats. Unprotected? You're going to have wear on your bolsters...
