So i finally got some "real" hot weather with the vinyl seats and actually burned my finger getting in , i would say a 0.5 degree burn that hurt for a few minutes but didnt blister. I could see this not being good for somebody like a woman in a swimsuit (or a dude with one of those short short swimsuits) getting in quickly.

There is a trick i discovered , maybe its widespread knowledge and i didnt know it. However you can save your butts in the heat.

Im not sure if this is a feature on the 4 door (likely isnt) however when you park your car in the sun , flip any seats you are using forward. This will put the seats in the shade and lower the temperature of the bottom of the seats AND seat backs massively.

Every time i park in the sun the seat goes forward

Honestly a pretty good idea! I sat in a demo Bronco with vinyl seats on a 90 degree day and knew immediately I was going to be happy with my choice of cloth seats. Too many years of hot leather in non-convertible cars helped me make that choice too

its genius if i do say so myself.

however there is the chance the sun might be at juuuuuust the right angle to heat up a corner and still get you.

The vinyl is great material , much better than leather in my opinion. However i believe it heats up MUCH faster than other materials. But i think it might cool faster too

I found the tried and true beaded covers work great, albeit not at all fashionable.
