Seat Covers and Noise from Sunroof cover

[Flog44]

Hi all,
Recently took ownership of 2021 grand cherokee s overland and need to get some seat covers as new baby on the way. I was looking at supertrim or dingo trails and have no idea which to go for.

Also i have been hearing a rattle from the sunroof cover. I checked all the headlining clips and i cant see any loose bolts/Screws - Any ideas

I was also given an idrive throttle controller - i intend to use it when towing but was curious how others found them on day to day driving in terms of fuel economy when in auto etc

Thanks

I have Supertrim neoprene covers, perfect fit, very happy with them.

Fit your iDrive as it can be set to zero if you're worried about economy in certain conditions. I've never measured the impact on consumption, frankly I can't be bothered, I reckon it would increase marginally but less so on long runs. I usually have mine on a moderate setting (U6).

Any idea where should i order them?

I suggest checking the Wet Okole truck sеat covers. They are made of neoprene fabric which is known (and proved) to be durable, so your seats will stay cool even in the hottest weather. I bought them and my car looks like new. It has to be mentioned that these covers are machine washable, so you can choose a light color without worrying about hard cleaning.

The iDrive unit like all these types of things just adjust's throttle response, namely how quickly the throttle reacts to your foot, it doesn't increase HP or fuel burn that is all done by your foot on the pedal, you will still burn fuel at the same rate as you drive down the road as if it is disconnected ......

The most important thing with being a new owner of a Grand is to change all fluids and filters so you know its been done, stamp in book only means the money has been paid and the book has been stamped, ensure the correct engine oil is used, a 5W40 of CJ4 rating, nothing less............ Change tranny oil/filters at least at 50K km especially if your going to tow.... ignore the tyre pressure label its way too low in psi.

I would remove the stock roof rails and check the roof stud inserts, they can come loose and rattle and sound like its the sunroof

I have 2 loose so I will remove them all and insert these with aluminium backing plates
