i protected my seat by putting a camo cover over it, just fits right over saves a lot of ware and tare,i think.

 

so keep it clean, is about all I can do. Just worried about vinyl, plastic or leather drying out and getting cracks in it.

 

My first ATV was stored outside for 9 years until it was stolen. The vinyl still didn't dry out, rot, or crack. All I do is wash them with warm soapy water and sometimes put the cover over it. Most of the time I don't cover my quads unless I know a big snow storm is coming. They sit in the sun the rest of the year.
