    Jim- they are very easy to clean/maintain.

    I think the crack is getting common on R53 pleatherette seats. Mine has one too. It bugged me, but as my MINI ages I'm thinking of it as patina. :)

    What do you think of the leatherette, Monica. Does it hold up? I'm thinking that on my next one.

    I like it.
    I think it looks better than the leather, but that's just my opinion.
    The seats in Ryu are perfect minus a crack from getting in and out.

    Thanks Monica. My leather ones got that real quick. Leatherette in the roadster it will be. :Thumbsup:

    I think they would be the best bet for a Roadster Rag Top. Thanks for the info. :Thumbsup:

    Is the crack on the bolster of the seat back on the door side? If so, my leather seat got the same thing. I had the cover changed and taught myself to get in without letting my butt drag across the bolster. I think that is what causes it.

    I have a sport seat grey leatherette seat pad. it does not have a heat pad in it. But you should be able to swap the heat pad over.
