Hello All,
I have been looking at the forum for a month or so and getting tired of the Notice about not posting anything. Well this is the post that will get that off my screen. I have been particularly looking here for advice on roof and back end bike rack options for the Smart. Rollallover, seems to have the best surf rack option for long boards. I saw another back mounted bike rack using the tow screws as mounts, that is of interest to me. I have a dog that spends some time in my cars, so I am looking for good seat covers that don't look cheap also.

A seat cover discussion can be found in this thread:

Seat Covers

One issue is to make sure whatever seat cover you get does not obstruct the seat-mounted air bags. Using the Search function in the menu bar above may yield additional threads on seat covers.

Welcome to the forum and let us know what you find in terms of bike racks and seat covers.

Those are the Rack Threads I was looking at. I am concerned about the Side Airbag deployment with the seat covers also. I really only need to cover the seat portion where my dogs claws have done some minor damage to the Land Rover and the TTs leather. I ordered the smart with cloth seats.

You could try Save-a-Seat retractable seat cover for less than $30:



Autobarn, among others, has it:

Save-A-Seat Removable Retractable Seat Cover

That is an interesting little thing. I will look into that, thanks!
