If you use your golf cart often or it has aged past the point where the duct tape can hold the seat together anymore, then you need a new golf cart seat cover. There are plenty of options for you to choose from when it comes to a new seat for your golf cart.

The first choice you need to make is do you want a standard universal fit golf cart seat cover? These are mostly faux-wool or fabric materials and don't fit your seat very well. Another choice is to use vinyl, but if you live in a hot environment, like Florida, then you definately don't want to use that.

Another choice that is growing in popularity is the seat covers made from Sunbrella fabric. They are durable and guaranteed to not fade. They also resist the weather nicely too!

There are many choices on the market to fit your tastes, from custom leather seats to wood options, even heated golf cart seats.  One key thing to remember is to make sure that you are dealing with a reputable dealer that has installed golf cart seats or made repairs to them before.  Also you will want to make sure that if you have a custom seat made that they know exactly which model golf cart they are matching it to.

One of your cheapest options when you need to replace your golf cart seat is to use a universal fit golf cart seat cover. These are generally decent enough to last you a season depending upon how much you use your golf cart and what type of weather or environment you are in.

Most of them either slip on and snap or have straps that stretch with hooks to hold them in place to your existing seats. While they do provide a nice look and comfortable seating, if you have ever had a cover on your car seats or home furniture, you can imagine that this will bunch up also.

The material will wear down over time and flatten out, not to mention it does stain and will need to be cleaned. The good aspect to this type of cover is that most are machine washable.

If you are looking for a low cost option to just cover your seat that is worn out, then you can't really go wrong with this seat cover.  During these economic times, this cover might make the most sense.  Even if you replace your seat cover once a year with a universal fit seat cover, it will probably outlast the cost of making a custom seat cover, with the exception of sunbrella fabric seat covers.

If you have ever seen outdoor awnings or other material and wonder how it doesn't fade in the sun, then chances are you are looking at Sunbrella fabric.  This amazingly strong and fade resistant fabric has been around in the boating and building industry for years.

Now, you can also have this great fabric for your golf cart seat covers!  Imagine a seat that is cool and comfortable with fade and stain resistance.  This amazing fabric has been used in boat seats for a long time, boat covers, awnings on buildings and more.

While the cost of a Sunbrella fabric golf cart seat might be a little more than one of the universal fit seats, the price is well worth it.  If you own your golf cart and want to personalize it a little more without all the fluff, you should check out a Sunbrella fabric seat cover.
