My 170 has a decent Airtex interior, even if it is a little older. I'd like to find some sort of quick install seat covers to protect my seats from dirt and ass-sweat. Any suggestions?

Z....when I first bought my 170 the seats weren't all that great....my WIFE made me slip over seat covers until I got the seats and door panels all rebuilt by a shop in Kimball NE. Since as far as I know you don't have a WIFE

, maybe you could find a seamstress who could make them out of certified material. I will look but I don't think I have my old slipovers still around.

You might be able to get some of these Oregon Aero Portable Soft Seats in an ass-sweat-repellent fabric.

I have several options for you. First, get a real job and quit playing around with this site, go to a nice shop and spend $5-10 K. Then you could put some plastic over everything so that you won't scratch anything with your camping gear.
OR, throw a beach towel over everything, don't worry about it, and DON"T raise the subscription rates for BCP!

I like the beach towel idea. Simple, cheap, multi-use. I actually used one last weekend after washing the plane and taking it up for dry-off flight. I was soaked through to the chones, but it was 90F out it felt great.
Ford, I've been at the coast with the in-laws. Sorry I've been missing your calls, will call ya back soon.

The seats were looking pretty ratty on my 170 about 5 years ago, so I talked to a couple aircraft &/or hotrod upholstery shops about recovering. After I recovered from the sticker-shock-induced faint, I went down to the local NAPA Airmotive and bought a set of "Saddleman" blanket-style seat covers for car bucket seats. A little nip-and-tuck work later I was good to go, for under $25-- looked pretty good, worked great.
