I would have to say that the windows is a given, don't hurt yourself thinking..

the garbage bags is a good idea, but sucks for autocross, may slide around in seat, then I guess that would not be as big of a problem if I had a harness.

I agree......I put waterproof seats in my 71 bronco (no top no doors, just a 351 with some 35" mudders....) not my ITR.....

the scotchguard bottles say " do not use on suede" I figured it is close enough to suede.

Take a **** BEFORE you drive your car.

I don't know why you need to waterproof your seats because they do not come into direct contact with rain. Just keep a towel in your car at all times to wipe them down if they do get sprinkled on.

Unless you have a convertible, minor water exposure (like opening and getting in the car) will not be a big deal.

I am just thinking of the coming solo2 season, in and out of the car, if there is anything that will help why not use it. It isn't a must, just a simple question.

wet okele makes seat covers that are the same material as the wet suits the surfers use. i believe it is called neopryn (sp) or some **** like that. the only thing is that they cost like 250 just for the front seat covers and then another 250 for the rear seat covers.
