"The reason I wanted vinyl was because my fear of having to sit on a wet
cushion after it rains"

You get used to it. ;) Pretty soon you'll be wearing that wet-splotch all
over your butt like a badge of honor.

The cloth seats actually dry up pretty good. I get 'caught' (read: I don't
take too much care either about the rain) quite a number of times throughout
the spring/summer months. If there's a puddle in my seat in the morning, I
usually soak up what I can with a towel, cover it with a plastic garbage bag
and fire off to work. By the end of the day (if it didn't rain again) it's
completely dry. If it rained, well, repeat steps one and two. ;)

What you really want to be careful of is getting the dash wet. Luckily all
my gauges still work, but I hear water is unkind to them.

I'd just find a nice cover (depends on your budget of course), but avoid the
neoprene ones. They're much too expensive, and I hear they do rot after a
while.

The dealer said everything is waterproof. I don't trust the dealer.

I have a set of Wet Okole's for the bucket seats. Didn't get the bench
cover cuz I don't really leave it in there.

although the cover helps with air circulation....I seem to sweat from my
**** first and it doesn't cure that!

think they got an antiperspirant in a bullet form?!
