Sheepskin Seat Covers?

Okay, although I love the look of the dark blue w/orange stitching leather interior in my new MCC, I think it may have been a mistake. Although the leather doesn't get hot to the touch (as some vinyl seats do here in Arizona), I find that my back is soaking wet after a drive with the top down-- and it's not even real hot yet (today was our first 100 degree day). Bottom line, I think I'm going to have to cover that beautiful leather with some sort of sheepskin cover during the summer months.

So, any recommendations of where/what to buy?

Thanks,

DC

Am I chronologically challenged so it is really April 1?!

DON'T DO IT - I would have botox first to stop my back from sweating before I put sheepskin seat covers in my Mini.

Sheesh, why the big panic? Clearly you folks have never been through an Arizona summer. I'm not permanently defacing the car, I'm just trying to be comfortable for the next few months; come fall, I'll take the seat cover off.

I figure something like this:

http://www.autoanything.com/products...over_ inserts

might do the job, but they only show covers for 2002 and 2003 online; I'll have to call 'em and see if they offer something for 2005's.
