4LT Owners - How have the seat inserts held up?
I'm curious to know how the sueded microfiber seat inserts have held up because I'm thinking of ordering them on a C7.
Is there any sign of wear? How are they to keep clean? Do blue jeans cause a problem? Would you get them again?
Please include your mileage with your response.
Thanks.

Since I might buy the newer seat cushions/covers for our 2009, here's a free bump and my subscription to the thread.

17200 miles on 2012 z06 3lz and they still look good. I would prefer the leather though.

Have these same types of inserts on my Saturn (probably lower quality, but still similar material).
It's held up well, the material is quite durable. It's nice too, because it keeps your back and **** less sweaty on hot summer days compared to normal or even perforated leather. Holds you in place very well too.
I definitely like it, even the likely cheaper stuff in my Saturn feels nice (can't say the same about the leather portions), and doesn't get cracks or noticible wear like leather. Cleaning it can be tricky, I typically just vacuum it, but every once in a while it's not a bad idea to use a heated water extractor on it (I have a Bissel Little Green Machine). You'll be amazed at how disgusting humans are when you see the gunk it pulls up out of the seat.
