When I eventually take delivery of my 5BW, I will be looking to swap out the rear seats. Yes, this may sound odd I know, but its what makes the most sense for me personally. I will need to put two child seats in the back for my boys(4&8) and I know the childseats over time tend to dent/damage the seats underneath, plus I'm sure they'll make a mess of the backseat regardless. So to address that, once I can 100% confirm the seat fitment is the same, I will be buying a used rear seat out of a regular ct5. Then I will keep my original seats in storage. That is also the main reason I stayed with the base interior. I can't image how bad my boys would probably destroy the suede or CF seat backs.
So my original question is, How should I store the rear seats once removed?
I assume wrap them in plastic and keep them laying down, supported from underneath, with nothing laying on top or pushing against the sides.
But what kind of plastic?
A large garbage bag or 2?
If a garbage bag, could they get too hot and stick the the seat?
Is there a better plastic like the stretch/cling film?
Do I want to have the plastic air tight or let it breathe?
Do I need to worry about moisture/ambient temperatures?
Should I treat the seats prior to bagging them up with a leather conditioner or similar?
Should they be cleaned/conditioned periodically, like every year or so?
Anything else I need to consider?
Thanks for any advice.
