FAQs
What is QRT technology?
QRT (Quick Resin Technology) is a Sparco manufacturing process that creates lightweight and highly resilient fibreglass shell seats. It results in seats that are approximately 30% lighter than those made with traditional methods, without compromising safety or quality.
Is the vinyl cover truly waterproof?
Yes, the seat features a washable and waterproof vinyl cover specifically designed to withstand exposure to the elements, including water and dirt.
Can I adjust the seat's fit?
Yes, the seat comes with multiple removable 'modular' cushions that are held in place by Velcro. These can be repositioned or removed to provide a more tailored and secure fit for the driver.
Does this seat come with mounting brackets?
No, the Sparco Grid Q Sky Seat is not supplied with mounting frames or adaptors. These must be purchased separately to install the seat.
What is the weight of the Sparco Grid Q Sky Seat?
The seat weighs only 7kg, making it exceptionally lightweight due to the QRT manufacturing process.
Is this seat approved for competition?
Yes, the Sparco Grid Q Sky Seat is FIA 8855-1999 approved, meeting international safety standards for racing seats.
How do I clean the seat?
The waterproof vinyl cover can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure it is dried thoroughly after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Seat does not feel secure after installation
Verify that all mounting hardware is correctly installed, tightened to the manufacturer's specifications, and compatible with both the seat and the vehicle's mounting points. Ensure no parts are missing.
Cushions are not staying in place
Ensure the Velcro strips on both the cushions and the seat shell are clean and properly aligned. If the Velcro is worn, it may need to be replaced.
Difficulty fitting desired harness through slots
Confirm that the harness straps are within the width compatibility of the seat's harness slots. Some wider racing harnesses may require specific installation considerations.
