#1 of 7 Seat covers...'06 and newer. Trying to stay cool in desert summer heat. by rerednaw Mar 10, 2008 (12:38 pm)
Summer's approaching here in Las Vegas...and that nice black interior gets scorching. Most of the searches I have done give me leather (which gets hotter in summer), or any of a variety of materials....all usually black and most are $300+.   Short of getting sheepskin...which I don't like the look of, is there an relatively lost cost alternative?   If I have to custom-make a light colored cloth one, I will. I just thought someone else out there had already done it.   By the way, I've tried a few 'universal' (with space for headrest) seat covers..and they don't fit.   I just found some seat covers that supposedly have a built-in fan system. Anyone try one of those?   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Mar 10, 2008 12:51 pm) rdryder (Mar 10, 2008 2:26 pm) rerednaw (Mar 11, 2008 6:02 am) danl (Oct 21, 2008 8:38 am)

Replying to: rerednaw (Mar 10, 2008 12:38 pm) This is my second Miata. I had a 97 (NA) before and now have an 06. I could only find a few seat-covers that fit all were custom made for Miata's. Try miatamania.com or gomiata.com both have a good selection of accesories and have custom seat covers around $150 for cloth. Replies to this message: rerednaw (Mar 11, 2008 6:02 am)

Replying to: rdryder (Mar 10, 2008 2:26 pm) I checked the sites. Gomiata stopped selling the cloth ones. Miatamania does not have any pictures. Tough decision. Have you tried the ones from Miatamania? Is the black/x all black with a splash of non-black? Or is it mostly the other color with some black highlights. I need these for in the sun Las Vegas desert applications...   Thanks.

I have purchased seat covers from miatamania a few years back but they were the neoprene black/red. The red seemed to fade after a few months. I recently purchased new custom neoprene seat covers from wetokole.com. They're a bit pricey tho and Im not sure if you want neoprene. Also you can check coverking.com. They have custom seat covers in different materials and the prices are more reasonable. One thing I was looking for in the seat covers was how they would work with the side impact airbags in the 06 and newer mx-5. Both these two sites work with them. As far as fading goes. If your top is down as much as mine, I would find some UV protectant to spray on the covers.

Replying to: rerednaw (Mar 10, 2008 12:38 pm) I have a 2001 LS with tan leather, it gets over 100 degrees here in the summer. The leather is very warm but nothing like my black leather steering wheel. I have seen many photos of the seat insert being a different color, you might want to consider a two tone scheme. Go to miata .net and search for leather seat vendors, you'll find lots of options, good luck.
