ripping plastic of new car seats

[kg494EJ-1]

Had the dealer remove it off the day I collected the car...

Same here, my rep actually questioned the decision. Never understood how people could drive with that.

good day, guys, gals and zoom raider
What do you, the good folk of chunaland think is the acceptable time frame for pulling the plastic off the seats in a new car?
Today my boss looks at my car (one month old, he pay for it) and sez 'oho, ah see yuh take off all de plastic...'
me: well yeah, I ripway datshit de fuss day...
he: oho yeah....aaaam I does leave dat on as long as possible

Thoughts?
I should make note here that right after this convo, I dropped my free valentine purple frosting cupcake on the passenger seat, forever staining it bright purple :-/.

Plastic should be removed during PDI. Seat covers are recommended to be installed immediately thereafter.

It's a thing sufferers and "See me nows" do to leh errbody know they car brand new

The plastic used by manufacturers are made of a very light/weak plastic material and really only for purposes of shipping.
This material will not hold-up well to protracted exposure to sunlight and heat and can actually weld itself to fabric interiors.
The standard is, when the vehicle is being 'prepped' for delivery, the plastic should be removed as part of the detailing necessary for presentation.
...sliding around on clear garbage bag type material could never be a good idea.

I've seen people use scotch tape to keep those plastic covers after they begin falling apart :-/

For some its a bling..

Some spend every last cent to buy the vehicle and can't afford seat covers..

Putting seat covers is the same as keeping the plastic on.

I find that plastic does be real uncomfortable to sit on when driving,even when driving fass,gotta be carefull not to slide forward when ur braking hard.

You no take yo time to break the car in?

Collected my ride at 3:00 and drove straight home.
Removed the plastic at 3:40, including the paper on the floor.
Then I took pics of my new car.
People who leave plastic on their seats are extremely tacky.

People should learn how to clean their seats properly.
The plastic is driving hazard imo.

[ruffrider27]

Geez when the ranger came home ,used the plastic as garbage bags ,trust me it hold a lot strong too

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Dare I say sufferers remove the plastic themselves?

[kurpal_v2]

[olvoGTL]

Maybe someone can confirm: Does plastic heated above 40C emit benzene? a known carcinogen. Just for safety I leave the dealership without the shipping plastic seat covers.
