Angry Adsit "Sheepskin Seat Covers"

Please beware that these sound too good to be true at $99.00 each. But after my first set of sheepskins lasted 14 years and then the second set made it until now that's 16 years and both were $500 a set. Since the seats of my 300SD have been covered since new I hesitatingly bought a set from adsit for $222 with shipping. When they arrived it was clear that they were poor quality imitations not real sheepskins as they advertise,

see below.
Sheepskins Seat Covers - Australian Approximately 1" thick. Available in 9 colors, fit most models. All front seat covers are in stock for immediate shipping.
ONLINE SALE $99.00 each



When I called them they refused to exchange them or accept a return. These are what you would expect from Checker (O'Reillys) for $39.00.
They are cloth backed fake fur not sheepskins. These people are thieves so be careful before dealing with them. Just my sad experience for your benefit.

They are not Australian sheep skin covers !
On my old 300D I just got a couple of tanned sheep skins & attached straps to them so that they covered the seats. That worked well for about 15 years. Since then I have just got cheap ones that have a diamond pattern. It looks like they are made of offcuts of sheep skin. They are about $20 each on special. They are good for about 50,000 miles of driving before the fur starts to come of the leather near the stitching.

Yeah, total crap.

I had one of there magazines years ago but I was always hesitant to buy anything from them. Reading all of the horror stories about them online confirmed my suspicions.
