sheepskin seatcovers
I am trying to find an alternative to sticking to my leather seats or sweating on them when I wear shorts. I live in Florida and the heat from the seats esp. when I 1st get in is bad.
Does anyone have any experience with sheepskin seat covers or some other attractive barrier or covering that I could use. Your suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.

hey Mark. I live near you and have sheepskin covers for my Jaguar.
They work very well and cost around from $210 - $540 for a custom set for specifically for your vehicle:
World Upholstery & Trim
Genuine Imported Sheepskin Colors
Toll Free Order Line 800-222-9577 or 805-921-0100
8 am to 5 pm M-F Pacific time
The ultimate in tailored fit, good looks and luxurious comfort. Hand-cut and hand-crafted to duplicate every curve and contour of your individual carseat. Construction begins only after order is received and we know the exact make, model and year of your car. Then we tailor the cover to wrap around the sides, top and front. To keep cover in place, we completely bind it with heavy duty elastic (Headrest & armrest covers sold separately)

Yes, I've used sheepskins in North Carolina, Minnesota and Arizona. I wouldn't be without them.
Make sure you get good ones that are lined or they'll ruin your leather. Also make sure they won't smell when wet and won't wear out prematurely. Cheap skins are a waste of money and useless.
I'd say that you'd have to pay at least $350 for a pair w/o covers for the headrest.
The last two sets I bought from Mercedes listed for $500 for a set including covers for the headrests. I actually paid $450 and $400 for them. The first set was still fine on our 17 year old 190D when we sold it.
