After I work out at the gym and drive home, I notice that the seatbelt gets really soaked with sweat. I'm not sure what effect it has but over time, it can't be good. I am thinking it might be compromising the integrity of the belt.

So I am thinking of getting sheepskin seatbelt covers ( the seats are already sheepskinned). What do you guys think of that idea? any alternatives? Thanks!

Actually, the more that I think of this, the cost of sheepskinning all of the seats that I use every day would be prohibitive. Why not just wear sheepskin shorts that I could don over my clothing? Has to be cheap, and one would never be without the comfort of sheepskin.

That was my first thought too. But then I would never have begun in the first place.

"Why cats bite"

You an get 100% top quality sheepskin seatbelt covers in your choice of colors (polar white, palomino, dark blue, beige etc, made of 100% New Zealand sheepskin wool) with a Velcro fastening strip in it to open/close with Velcro, the only thing you have to get used to, is to slide it up or down to suit, before you put the car in gear and drive.

Any good upholstery shop will usually have them to sell you, for retail, but I bought directly from a factory I actually toured in Santa Monica, CA for $10 each at the end of the factory tour.

The company is called "Comfy" and the phone number on the card is toll free (800) 521-4014.

Yes they really work. My girlfriend won't go anywhere without them, as she enjoys wearing those sexy sundresses in summer weather, and has light sensitive skin.

For the sheepskin covers on my 560SEC, I went to Ramshead Sheepskins in Sonoma CA and had custom Polar white sheepskin covers put in in 1997 and they are STILL on the car even today and are not worn out, they last a LONG TIME.


www.ramsheadusa.com is the place and I believe its moved but still in business.

The covers and seat belt covers need to be dry cleaned though, eventually. A cheaper proposition than cleaning dirty seatbelts and seats, for sure.

Good luck.
