the leather is always hot in the summer and cold in the winter, not to mention a tear in the drivers side seat. any recommended seat covers that go well with the w123 standard seats?

you sure you got leather and not TEX which is vinyl....

i suppose it could be vinyl, though i'm no expert on textiles.

Have you tried locating a seat of the right color in a junkyard.....if you have a common color thats a viable option...and the cheapest.

If you are looking at sheepskin....heres a thread to read..

I would recomend a junkyard seat AND a cover if thats what you want...get a seat now before they become scarce...

yeah, no luck with that. hard to find one in beige color thats in good condition. thats why im looking for a decent seat cover.

If its the darker beige (with a hint of orange) which is known as Palamino thats one of the more common colors....and should be the easiest to locate..

That will aid comfort even if you do get sheepskin covers...Try a WTB post on the parts forum...someone here might be able to help.

Hot in summer and cold in winter.... Sheepskin is the answer, if you can tolerate looking at it, it feels great.

Looked up this site awhile ago for a friend, I DON'T know anything about them or endorse them in any way. This might be a good start for you though.
