The term identifies protective or decorative fabric layers specifically manufactured to fit over the factory seating in a vehicle produced by Jeep, model Cherokee, during the 1998 model year. These items serve primarily to shield the original upholstery from wear and tear, spills, stains, and fading caused by sunlight, while also offering opportunities to customize the vehicle’s interior appearance.
Deploying such accessories offers several advantages. They preserve the resale value of the vehicle by maintaining the integrity of the original seating material. Furthermore, these coverings can significantly enhance the comfort of the seats, especially if constructed from materials like neoprene, leatherette, or ballistic nylon. Historically, the automotive aftermarket has provided a wide range of options to address individual consumer needs and aesthetic preferences.
