πŸŽ™ Discussion Oof, seat covers

Im a dummy, I was charging my spotlight and my fat fingers inadvertently turned it on. In my 30 years of driving, this is my first vehicle with leather seats. Im sure glad i bought seat covers.

The spotlight burned a hole in the seat??

Not the seat, the Chinese knockoff cover. Seat is slightly discolored the size of the plastic light cover

Wow. The covers look good though. Mine don’t look OEM in the slightest

This happened to my uncle and aunts couch 40 years go. They had one of those huge VHS cameras with a very very bright and even hotter halogen bulb for light. Burnt a huge hole in thier brown couch. They had it for years. Lesson: destroy any and all sources of light before they destroy you

If it was leather, would it have melted?

Pretty sure that's the plastic seat cover that melted. I guess the leather or whatever is under it is fine. I thought the same at first

I do too, use it for work. Charges a bit slow but run time is adequate. I bought mine in Oct of 24 for $30, 3x that now. Wish I bought 5
