What color is it and does it have a solvent smell as described in one of their other covers? Sounds like everybody got a different color. One comment said that it wouldn't work for a pickup size vehicle and since I have a full size SUV, I guess it...

it had a little smell, like a brand new out of the package smell, but that went away. the cover is machine washable so if it smells bad it can be washed, but mine smelled for like a day. or try airing it out first. the color is like a mix of i think tan and olive. more towards the tan. my interior is black and now that i have been using it i am used to the color. it's a pretty neutral color. if it was tan it would have been too light with my black interior. i really like it.

It initially has a "plastic" smell when you first remove from package but dissipates in a few days (or less). I primarily use when driving or airplane travel (and have for years) and in fact I just loaned my spare to a friend yesterday and he wants his own. The relief (I get) is worth the temporary "smell".

Wondering if you purchased cover and if so, what size? I also would like to purchase cover to fit over my scratched 2002 Rav 4 wheel cover. Thanks.

i only tried it on my chevy silverado, it was really tight, it started to rip, but was ok, the reason i really got rid of it, was that it had the most horrible rubber smell, we couldnt stand it after 3 or 4 months of having it on, baaaad smell!!!!!!!!

i didn't notice any unusual odor from this cover. like anything new, just air it out for a day and you'll be fine

No smell at all during or after installation. I have had it for 6 months now and it sounds so good inside the truck with my 2 12s. Its easy to apply. I have in under the carpet, door panels, headliner and front and back of the walls of my 1999 silverado ext cab. Wonderful and alot cheaper than those other brands.

Yes it has a hefty rubber smell, i have had it for awhile and the smell is slowly going away. but it is still there and sometimes leaves the smell on my hands after i drive. but it definitely is going away

Lee, did you find a better cover? I have a convertible 2008 Saab 9-3 that I've been trying to find a great cover for! Thought RainX would be a good bet, but not from reading this.....

Mine had an odd smell when I got it, didn't really associate it with lighter fluid, but still... It now smells like my perfume and breath mints (the main scents in my purse). It quit smelling odd in less than a week. If it persists, I'd recommend just washing the rubber part with dish washing soap. Hope this helps.

Yes it did for about three-four says. But then it was completely gone. It actually smelled more like a new couch rather than rubber to me. With that being said, I think it was a very small price to pay considering how cool it is. I still have it on my steering well and it's super comfy.

I actually bought this for my JD 1026r tractor, to give me more grip on the wheel. Most black colors that dye a fabric are actually deep, deep, deep violet that appears black when you look at it. Hit it with solvent, dilute and see for yourself. This cover has faded (constant exposure) to a dark taupe color, which would indicate the original color was black.Good luck!

Leave it out in the open to ventilate for a day or so, and then use an interior detail protectant. I use Mother's Protectant which has a great smell as well as being able to protect the leather very well. This smell is caused by the recapturing of out gassing from the leather typically due to being enclosed for extended periods during shipment. This is not unusual for new parts of this type being shipped overseas.

It doesn't really smell of peanut butter to begin with. When the dog gets at it I don't recall it having any odor, but then I haven't been in a small enclosed area with it. It does have white flakes coming off it when the dog gnaws on it so hopefully your car seat has a cover on it.

I haven't had it long. I think all covers discolor and get stains but having it beige is better than what I had before - a gray color. It looks great. It may need additional waterproofing. I am planning on spraying it. The bottom stitching is weak. I tried to pull the elastic string to bring it in like the picture and some of the stitching in the opening ripped. This is their only problem with detail. I can easily sew it though. So don't pull it too hard. Take your time pulling the string on the bottom. I think for the price, it is the best looking cover I've ever had for my grill. Very classy looking. Fits perfectly. I haven't had it long.

I have a Foreman 500ES 2013Cover fits very well. The only thing exposed is about 4 inches of the bottom of the stock tires. I have had it for about a year an it has held up fine. The only thing it has done is faded. Maybe see if they have a lighter color option. Maybe camp or tan. The black just soaks up the sun.Check your overall dimentions of yours and mine and see if it works for you.Hope this helps

Hi, the one I bought has the same smell. I think that's normal. It does not bother me.

The one that I bought was "colorless". i.e. I had it painted the color of my car (red). But it was a perfect fit. It so happened that I had a little left-over paint (car paint of my car), and a body shop did the paint for something like 30$. I installed it myself, easily in about an hour. So all in all, way better that at the dealer, they were asking some 300$ with taxes and everything.
