Luke721 Neutral Newbie May 3, 2002 Author Share May 3, 2002 (edited) REAL leather - thought of putting, but wife put up violent objection as she's afraid of the initial "barbeque" after parking in the sun for too long Edited May 3, 2002 by Luke721 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastforward Neutral Newbie May 3, 2002 Share May 3, 2002 REAL leather - thought of putting, but wife put up violent objection as she's afraid of the initial "barbeque" after parking in the sun for too long Best part about leather is the smell and also it's easy to clean but hard to maintain as you need to oil it regularly to maintain the suppleness in the leather. If you park your car often in the open and subject to long hours of strong sunlight, it is really not advisable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
