I am after some seat covers. I have only been looking on the net, I liked the canvas type covers I had in my D3, can someone confirm if the INKA covers are canvas, they look too shinny and their website does not state what material they are mad from.
What are the best covers out there, I am looking at the exmoor canvas ones and reckon these are what I had on the D3.
Just after some views re INKA and how they compare?

I have Inka covers on my D4 and they fit very well. They are not canvas though.

I'm looking into Inkas also. LRs ones are just through the roof price wise.
Made from weathertex a high performance PU coated nylon.
Don't Inka manufacture LRs ones? 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I believe INKA did used to supply the LR branded ones. They are excellent and I can thoroughly recommend them. Superb quality and fit

Another vote for the Inka D4 ones, they come in the same bag as Land Rover ones and have the same instructions as the Land Rover ones, obviously without Land Rover branding though Cheers Ian

How about Over the Top Custom Covers... Much nicer than My Inca ones.. more posh like.. and more befitting a top class Land Rover driver with impeccable taste....
http://www.overthetop.co.uk/land-rover-custom-front-seat-covers/
IMHO second only to Melvill & Moon covers....
Oh.... And I just happen to be selling a set that I bought in error (They fit a D4 and not a D3!! Doh!)

PS
the Inca ones are a type of nylon waterproof fabric.. more akin to the Land Rover OEM covers but a bit more 'Crinkly' ie not quite as soft.... 1 TR6 Rusting away quietly

Are the INKA ones sweaty at all? That's one of my biggest concerns before purchasing some...

That is one of the things that I was worried about with them and I had intended to just fit them when needed (when going off road) but the fact is I just leave them on all the time now and can't really say they make you sweaty at all Cheers Ian

Brilliant, cheers! Are they easy enough to whip off and on again, in a few minutes for example? I don't need them on with a suit for example, but I am finding I need them for daily use wearing filthy work clothes!

No, they take a little time to fit and remove as they are VERY close fitting. Im sure there are some Halfords generic type covers out there that fit and remove easily and quickly but the INKA ones aren't them! My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription

Okay cheers. I suppose I'd rather have the quality and then not take them off rather than some baggy, loose fitting generic item! Thanks!

I fitted a set of Inka covers last week (front and middle row). They're nice covers but I haven't been able to make the three middle row seat back covers fit properly. There's a velcro seam that runs horizontally across the bottom of the seat back where the front and back sides of the covers are supposed to meet, but they're at least an inch too short.
Am I missing something obvious? Are the middle row seats different between D3 and D4 and I've got the wrong ones, perhaps? Darren
