I have white leather in my Z28, and have some wear on the driver's side bolster. It is slightly discolored now, and a little rough. What can be done?


Also, what can be done to protect them on a daily basis?

TIA

Not much can be done once they've worn. The only cure there is replacement. A good upholstery shop should be able to replace the bolster. An entire new seat cover from the dealer is spendy (if you can find one).

Prevention is the key. We use a set of white bath towels, sewn into seat covers, and so far they're doing the job. There's very little wear on our seat at 24k miles, but it is inevitable. That's why we bought a complete set of covers for down the road.....

That's what I thought, and good idea bout the seat covers...Much better sounding than sheepskin...

i guess I'll have the bolster replaced, and then do some sewing...

Thanks!
