Quiz: How much of your Leather Seats are leather?

[wetstuff]

...and none of the Naaa-Naaa from you guys who have the full leather options either..

So?

Volume of area wise, I would guess 60%.

Just the seat pad under your bum and back are leather I believe. The rest is genuine vinyl? At least that's what most of the car industry does.

BTW, aren't the sport seats full leather? I hope they are.

I just bought an S with FULL LEATHER. I will check when I bring into inventory to see how much leather is in that FULL LEATHER>

[Ronzi]

The big difference with a "full leather" interior I believe is the dash and doorpanels. Mine is the std. interior and has a pebble grain vinyl (I guess) dash top covering, and same on the door panels. Seat facing is leather, but I'm thinking maybe the rear side of the of the seat(s) back is vinyl, too.

Here's a question: I have the 3-spoke wheel, the car is not an S. Is that wheel leather or leatherette covered? Looks like leather-feels...not so much...

So the side bolster that's beginning to crack like leather really isn't?

How is the Leatherique? I just bought some for my other vehicle but am wondering how to apply it with the center part of the seats having all those holes. Will the Leatherique get into and stay in those holes?

Also have you tried other products like Hide Food?
