Hi,I just recently dropped something on the seat (I think it was part of a hamburger) and noticed it got dirty pretty easily. What do you guys do to clean the seats? Anyone have seatcovers in their vibes?Thanks,Ed

Ed, I would get a damp towel or wash cloth and try "pressing" it out. I bought a pair of neoprene seat covers to guard against those spills that will happen. The pair I bought are these, from this seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 1870202097 They are a universal fit seat cover and fit the Vibe's o.k., and seem to be of decent quality (especially considering the price). The center black strip and the side grey strips are neoprene, and the back and sides are a standard nylon material. I also bought a pair in red for my 85 Vette to cover up the rips in the leather, but they don't fit the Vette nearly as well as the Vibe's.

I tend to use spray foam like Tuff Stuff. It works best if you let it sit for a while...then wipe it off. Anything that doesnt come up can have that OXY-whatever used on it. (It bleaches organic substances...IE food, drink, mold, ect)

Very nice seat covers. Nice price too. What are they like to sit on? Is the neoprene hot and sweaty, and cold in cold weather? Do they actually fit as good as they look in the picture? Not bad for a universal fit. Thanks for the link.

They don't fit too bad. They are a little baggy around where the seat back and seat bottom pivot, but not too bad. Seat height knob is covered up, but I don't mess with that anyways. I don't know what they will be like in the heat of the summer, but I don't think they will be a problem, and I haven't noticed any concerns with the cold either. The grey looks fine in the Vibe's dark interior, but the red that I got for the Vette is a very bright red and looks out of place.
