I installed the covers over the weekend. How long does it take for the smell to go away? Please help.

I still have a slight smell. I also have air fresheners in the car vents. Try leaving your windows open and moonroof as often as possible weather permitting it definitely helps get rid of the smell

I didn't keep them. It was so flimsy that the straps kept breaking during the install. But it was only $30 so what did I expect? But it did come with an "old" smell. Like it had sat for a century in a warehouse.

A really long time. I used febreeze every day for about 2 weeks, it finally is going away.

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

Yes. the smell went away rather quickly. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it could not have been too long. I absolutely hate bad smells in my house, and I would definitely have noticed if the smell stuck around for too long. hth.

The odor slowly fades away. We installed it in an enclosed compartment and the odor was gone within 30 days.

I leave mine on all the time. Now if u want just to get rid of a smell then I would say maybe a couple of hours. L love my Prozone

Leave it out in the open to ventilate for a day or so, and then use an interior detail protectant. I use Mother's Protectant which has a great smell as well as being able to protect the leather very well. This smell is caused by the recapturing of out gassing from the leather typically due to being enclosed for extended periods during shipment. This is not unusual for new parts of this type being shipped overseas.

Not sure what would cause that. We installed ours a few months back and have not smelled anything at all.

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

Maybe 10 to 15 minutes as soon as you can catch the smell you need to stop it because the air is ionized enough. You can redo this several time in case of viruses going around...Hope this heps

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

I've always done it outdoors and then left them out there to dry. supposed to let them dry 24 - 48 hours, I normally do maybe 12 hours for thin material, never noticed a smell after that at all. hope that helps. stuff works, too.

Not long. They only really smell right when taking them out of the package. They do not let off a smell once set up. Although we put ours in sconces around a large room so it could be different if grouped together in a small space.

I got used to it after a couple weeks, I only put up with it because I personally only wanted that specific steering wheel cover. And it's awsome except for that. The smell is still remnant after a year but like I said I don't min it anymore, it was incredible strong at first though, I even washed it a couple times and put dryer sheets between the wheel and cover, nothing worked tho. The seller has excellent customer service however, they sent me the wrong style at first, but overnighted me the correct one without hassle and let me keep the mistake one! Hope this helps

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

Not really sure. I covered a post and let it sit for 24 hours in 80 degree weather. It continued to smell after 24. Less intense but still there. The post was buried and the smell obviously disappeared. I imagine the smell will go away eventually as time goes on. The question is, how much time?
