Seats - what is leather ?

S2000dude · 07-04-2008, 09:00 AM

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I couldn't find in search.....

Leather seats - what part of the seats are leather? The perforated middle section ?

Thanks !

Good question. The promo brochure I have ('06) just says "perforated leather seats". But the window sticker says "leather trimmed seats". Hmmmm........

judging by the wear marks, I'd say it's all leather except the sides and back portions of the seats.

Sniff your seat. See if it smells like an old baseball glove or an old shower curtain. (ya might wanna put it in the garage before you sniff or your neighbors will start talkin)

I treat the entire thing (fronts, sides and back) with leather care products. At least that's for my '02.

Test it under the rain with the top down, see is the seat water proof, since, leather seat won't absorb water as the cloth seat.
Just kidding....haha
I guess its leather seat.

I agree. Also there is some leather trim on the doors of my '05. (the perforated parts)

As for sniffing, I'll leave that to Molly.

I don't see the difference. The seats are leather.

it will also make you leather waterproof, you can use it on almost all leather, not real good for sweade though

S2000dude · 07-06-2008, 07:37 AM

Here's what I use. Limited availibilty to North East however. IMO, better than Zaino!

Will get a picture for you as soon as I find it.

"leater trimmed" can still mean "all leather"
