I live in FL and 914 "leatherette" vinyl is HOT and most unforgiving in 90+ degree heat. It's like sitting on a hot griddle when getting into the car. I'd like to find some period-correct seat covers for summer, either OG or replicas, or something that would look period-correct.

PS the wooden beads slide too much and can puncture the vinyl.

And suggestions on what to fet and where to get them are most appreciated. Thanks!

Yes sheep skin would be. Cracked and the only thing I can think of. But I haven't found any that fit properly.

fake sheep skins from pepboys fit the 911 perfectly fine for a seat cover.
Same issue with a cabriolet....hot seats.

They are awesome in the sunshine....no heat at all.
