1998 V70 Seats

Post by sjlevine »

Hi everyone--
My 98 v70 seats are beginning to crack. I haven't been the best on caring for the leather, so I should probably start now... I've got the tan seats and only the front are cracking, just from typical use, I assume.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a solution that can stop the cracking in the seats? I don't want to replace them any time soon...

Thanks!

I've heard good things about Letherique but I have never used it. The problem is that our cars outlast the seats.

I ran across this while surfing the net.

If you're in the USA look up and call your local franchise of this company.
They can make your seat look BRAND new, I use my local guy quite often

BYW, you can use cleaning and conditioning products until you're blue in the face, it will not get any better.
You can only hope it won't get much worse with regular conditioning and keep it OUT of the sun as much as you can
