MGV seats - Why are the sides of front seats carpeted???

[redone17]

All this talk about carpeted rear seat back…after a month I’m just realized there’s carpet on inside of the driver and passenger front seats too…WTF is the point of that?

I hadn’t seen this mentioned before. Now, that’s just straight idiotic.

I'm an upholsterer, there are a lot of seats done like this, wether it's carpet or fabric on vinyl or leather seats. The carpet on the back of the rear seats is so that when seats are laid down you are not putting puncture marks or tearing the vinyl when you are sliding your stuff into the back.

thats great except its a wash out interior and the rear trunk area is wash out....

I would guess for squeaks. Vinyl against the console would probably cause vibration squeaks. I don't think a small piece of vertical carpet in that location would cause any water retention issues. I'm not worried about it with my MGV.

I wonder how the FJ handled theirs, but yes pls would love to see some pics

wash out does not mean spray gallons of water over your seats, have you ever seen the inside a boat seat, it's gross. Water will get in the seams and get into the foam and that can take forever to dry out.

Not trying to be a jerk here but people have some crazy expectations of the bronco and most of them are from never owning this type of vehicle before. I agree you aren’t supposed to really “hose out” the inside of it. Spraying out the floors??? Yes. Spraying off the seats….. no. The carpet on the side is to help quell speaks and rattles and the carpeted back shouldn’t pose a serious threat to cleaning referring back to you aren’t really supposed to hose it out. My gt350 has leather and suede seats and they didn’t use cloth on the console side and every time I get in it and the seat moves I get greeted with 5-10 seconds of fart sounds.

I would like it if this were true. Some type of hard rubber material. Or some sort of plastic. Just something for when the back seats are down that could throw muddy/sandy/wet things on and be able to clean easily. Carpet is anti that...

I'm a little confused about whether we're talking front or back seats. For the FJ, the rear seats had a hard plastic / rubbery-ish surface (based on memory). The seating surfaces were all cloth across all trim levels. My Trail Teams had water / stain resistant treatment applied from the factory. Overall a tough interior for one trimmed out in cloth. The back of the front seats was cloth.
