Is anyone else suffering from their black Robustec seat material fading? I noticed it after just a few weeks in my front passenger seat but now after 6 months it is much worse. I mentioned it to my dealer and they were looking into LR solutions to clean the fabric, but nothing concrete has surfaced yet.

This is a pretty serious issue on a six month old $85,000 car. Any help greatly appreciated.

 

I've seen on other forums that people have had success cleaning it with a foaming cleaner. Mine has started to fade, but I have not yet attempted to clean it.

 

I'm hoping its as simple as cleaning the fabric - even though it looks faded to me. LR Dealership said they had some preliminary ideas but I've yet to get any solid answers. The neoprene material also gets scuffed and dirty really quickly.....

 

Not Robustec. This is their lower end fabric from what I understand and they seem to have replaced it with leather on the models that had it. There was an "improperly treated fabric" TSB that basically says, "get it wet and vacuum it". As if that solves the problem...

I'll give it a try. Can't hurt to try - seems like its a simple as the fabric not receiving the correct sealer - so I'll try this process and get some waterproof sealer/solution.

That’s a bold username! Did you bring that over from the Forerunner forum?

 

Thanks for your input.
