At Dingo Trails, we take safety seriously. All DT seat covers are fitted with Burst Seams 2.0 designed to keep customers safe. Rather than us tell you about our seat covers, here’s a first hand experience from a customer below.

“The Dingo Trails seat covers performance was amazing on deployment of the side airbags, there was no trouble and the covers burst down seam (sic) beautifully to allow the airbags out. 

I was comfortable, safe and couldn’t fault the performance. We highly recommend Dingo Trails”

A: DT seat covers are made from automotive-grade neoprene rubber sponge that’s durable, battle tested for the Australian climate and UV-treated to resist fading. It has similar hand-feel to neoprene used for wetsuits and divesuits except that it has been formulated for automotive purposes.

A. We get this question all the time! DT seat covers are made from automotive grade neoprene with a ‘charcoal black’ finish. It has been specially lab dipped to match car interiors. Not too stark against grey/light interiors yet dark enough to blend with black. So are DT seat covers black? The short answer is ‘Yes’. The long answer is watch the video. It’s a bit like magic and it’ll be worth the minute. We promise.

A: The lifespan depends on each individual’s use case. Speaking from experience, DT team members have had neoprene seat covers fitted in their cars for 3-5 years after which, they present a little discolouration and wear. Other than that, there’s no technical reason why DT seat covers can’t last for longer.

Your seat covers mileage may last longer or shorter depending on your usage. Do keep in mind that we also provide a manufacturer’s warranty against defects.

A. There are no known issues of DT seat covers marking leather or cloth seats. We only use automotive-grade neoprene rubber that has been battle-tested in Australia for over 10 years.

Below are photos submitted by a customer who fitted DT seat covers immediately after taking delivery of his vehicle. To prepare for sale, the covers were removed 4 years later. Other than normal creasing on the driver’s seat from getting in and out of the car, the original leather seats look pristine.

Do Not Apply Product on Leather Seats

Seats must be completely clean and dry prior to fitting DT seat covers. We recommend against applying any product such as leather conditioners and protectants prior to fitting DT seat covers as the chemicals can mark or damage the seat covers and/or seats as well as void warranty. If product has been applied, wait at least 7 days (or longer as directed by product’s instructions) for product to completely dry and bond before fitting seat covers.

A: Although our seat covers are made from automotive-grade neoprene that is 99.9% waterproof, the stitching is not seam-sealed which means moisture may seep through after a prolonged period. For most real world use situations, spilling liquid on the seat cover isn’t an issue as long as the liquid is removed or wiped off within a few minutes (water resistant).

A. Clean seat covers with a mild detergent or as a last resort, place them in a washing machine. However, absolutely avoid using alcohol, turps, stain removers and other chemical cleaners.

A. Our seat covers are made from neoprene rubber and laminated with nylon fabric that won’t singe your under-thighs like leather seats can. They regulate temperature very well (it’s made of rubber after all!) and provides insulation against both heat (summer) and cold (winter). That’s a bonus in anyone’s books.
