Do YJ Jeeps (1989) have soft tops that fold down?

We recently got my son a 1989 Jeep YJ with a hard top with full doors. With summer coming along he of course now wants a soft top. First of all, any suggestions on what kind/model, etc. to get? We have looked at several stores on the internet and it is pretty confusing with all the different ones available. I believe we will have to buy the hardware (poles) for the top and the fabric cover (actual top) both. Does this fold down or will it have to be taken off just like the hard top each time he wants to go without a top? If this is the case, wouldn’t a bikini top work better because of the portability and price? His has the standard front roll bar behind the front seats but not another one in the very back as we have seen in many pictures. I don’t really know much about Jeeps or any other automobile for that matter – so I’d appreciate any help or guidance you could provide. Thanks! Jeanne

Has anyone had problems with the upholstery on their RAV4? Mine’s a 2008 model.?

The upholstery on the door panel and the front seats of my 2008 RAV4 started pilling and fuzzing at 3 months and 5500 miles. Have finally gotten Toyota to give the dealer new seat covers, but has anyone else had this problem? I’m hoping it was just a bad batch of fabric and that the new covers will be just fine.

Need advice on kid-proof seat covers.?

I purchased a 07′ ford focus which has a seemingly cheep interior. I was wanting to find a seat cover for my backseat to keep my baby from ruining the fabric. I thought about just using a blanket but thought there might be a better solution. Any ideas.

What is the best car seat cover material for dogs?

I’m looking to buy some cheap car seat covers. I have dogs that shed a lot and I’m looking for something to protect the seats and to pull off when I have people in the car. I have found 4 possible covers I have found from ebay. I’m wondering if their claws will mark up leather like material very quickly and leave lots of marks. I’m also looking for something that will keep me and the dogs a bit cooler in the summertime. I’d rather not sweat or stick to the seat. I also need something that is easy clean up as the dogs can get dirty/muddy. Examples of what I have found:

1. These are a rich soft simulated leather material. Softer and more durable than plastic or vinyl. They will not fade or get sticky.They are waterproof and clean easily. They Look and feel like leather.(will these get scratch marks easily?)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SEAT-COVERS-p1-2003-2004-2005-2006-2007-MAZDA-6_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem27a4a1dea3QQitemZ170265796259QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ebayphotohosting

2. These are a soft cloth velour material. Much softer than leather or vinyl. COOL IN SUMMER WARM IN WINTER (these are not custom. They’re listed for my car but I hear they are harder to fit due to the non stretch of the fabric) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2004-2005-2006-2007-Mazda-6-CAR-SEAT-COVERS-VE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem58800a6ddbQQitemZ380105289179QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

3. Synthetic Leather similar to vinyl but softer than vinyl on seating areas of seat covers. Front buckets will have a stretchy polyester backside (the part you see from the rear seat of the vehicle) that will help conform the seat cover nicely to the molds of the seats. (not sure if this is any different from #1 or #4) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAR-SEAT-COVERS-2003-2004-2005-MAZDA-6-RACING-03-04-05_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3a47937b30QQitemZ250308950832QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

4. These are the original FR racing Z – covers. The Z – Fabric is a synthetic soft breathable Fabric. Molds and conforms to seat like no other cover. Cool in summer warm in winter. NOT like leather or vinyl. Machine washable. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2004-2005-2006-2007-Mazda-6-CAR-Seat-Covers-Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem587ff942d2QQitemZ380104164050QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

My Dodge Neon has stained seats — WHY??

I have a 2003 Dodge Neon, which I bought new. It has black cloth interior. I have never spilled anything on these seats, but they look like an orgy took place in there. White stains all over the seats. It’s disgusting. I’ve tried shampooing and it removed some of the stains, but not many. The driver’s side is the worst, but it is starting on the passenger side now. What’s noteworthy is that in the past 2 years I’ve gotten married and obtained a dog, so there is more passenger time in my car than ever before. I have no kids. Also, the car has not been garage kept so the sun could be effecting the fabric. Any ideas? In the meantime, I’m buying seat covers after the holidays.

What are some different materials used to cover the seats of cars other than leather and your normal cloth?

My 2004 Jeep liberty seats are covered in a material that I wouldn’t exactly call cloth but isn’t leather. It stains very easily and I am going to buy some upholstery cleaner and try to attempt to clean the seats. I’m just not sure what kind of cleaner would be safe for the particular fabric. Does anyone have any knowledge about what kind of material this could potentially be? Maybe Nylon or Rayon or something?
