Hey Drsms22, I don't have them but looking at the pics you can tell that the fitment it's not very good at all. Look at the headrest and you can see the vinyl folding quite a bit. So, it leads me to believe that it's a generic pattern they might be using.

Again I'm basing my assumptions on my limited experience with the aftermarket windscreen headrest covers. Not their product. FWIW

You know... for the price, I'd give it a shot. I do agree that it looks like a semi-generic fit; the Wet Okele seat covers look alot more closely fitting, but for the ebay price, it's almost worth it for an experiment.
What I liked was the vendor took very clear shots of the features and had a good explanation. FWIW, it made me feel ok about the purchase : )

good luck and let us know what you pick!

Heck, it's only $39.95 for a full set, so it's essentially free if you wanted to give your interior a cheesy retro vinyl look. Even comes with a matching steering wheel cover!

Alas, this is in the cabrio forum, and I doubt the rear seat is cut for the cabrio's rear seat.

Yeah, I suppose you guys are right. For the price $39.95, you'll also get that "new car smell" with vinyl interior ofcourse!

Folks. I drive my car to work every day and can't avoid eating and drinking in the car and, despite my near worship of the vehicle, I can't keep from spilling stuff on the front seats. For 40 bucks plus shipping I get some protection and can probably get the bottom of the rear seat to fit and maybe could jury rig the top of the back seat. I have a hard time throwing 500.00 plus dollars on a set of Wet Okole's. I hear they fade in the wash too.

SEAT COVERS

You might want to take a look at Mini seat covers at eBay Great Britain. There are some "water proof" covers there. Looks like the kind that you could take off and throw in the washer..
Keep in mind; our American dollar is worth about half a British pound.
Good luck,
