[Paddlewise] car seat cover

For the third time in two years, I am sewing a waterproof cover for the
drivers seat of my car. The seat is standing in my living room now,
surrounded by scissors, needles and pieces of fabric. The first I made
was too bulky, the second too flimsy, but this one will be perfect.

In the Netherlands it's custom to dry off and change at the takeout. We
do this on the beaches, at the side of streams, in the middle of the
city if we have to. Wind, snow, rain or local laws do not bother us: No
wet ass will enter a Dutch car.

I prefer to drive home, take a nice hot shower or steambath and then dry
off and dress. The carshops sell all kinds of seat covers: fake fur,
fake leather, fake carseat, but nothing waterproof. No problem, I just
make my own but I was wondering... Am I the first one to ever think of
this, or just the first Dutchman? How many paddlers out there have long
solved this problem, in this way or any other way?

Just checking.

Niels.
