Napa Leather seats fading?

[Rob Thomas]

I only have 1400 miles on my car and I have some fade spots on my red leather seats? I tried leather cleaner and conditioner, nothing changed. Anyone have this issue or have any ideas?

Is their a specific area that is fading? There’s another thread under Interior related to the drivers seat

It's my drivers seat. I live in AZ, could it be the sun?

Without pictures it’s going to be hard to give you an answer.

One of the reasons why i did not get a red interior.

If you live in AZ I'd add this to the windows and windshield. If you have tint on the windows already, just add to the windshield. I had on a BMW. Loved it.

In Australia this is against the law, only side and rear windows are allowed.

You cannot tell that it is on. It is essentially clear.

Thanks. I am going to dealership and request a new seat. I have 1400 miles and it is in the garage. But, because I live in AZ where it was 117 yesterday, 116 today, I am going to do the LLumar treatment.

Please post a pic so we can see what your looking at.

I want to make sure it's not happening to mine.

Have not spilt anything, but we do sweat in Arizona....but that should not do this? Another guy in NY has very similiar stain on his back seat and no one ever sat in it, so I think it is a defect in the leather.

Thanks for the pics.

Is it not something in the vent hole's that is giving that faded look?

Yes. If you look at the seat the perforation holes look black....but around and in the stains or whatever it is, they are white.

Yeah that looks like a stain and not fade. Have you tried cleaning it?
