Hello all

I have a little issue with my front cloth driver seat where the fabric is becomming kinda furry. I know people have mentioned shaving this away and I have done a search. My questions are:

What did you use to fix it?

Did anyone approach ford and have any luck getting it fixed by them? (not holding breath)

Has anyone had troble with the plexis part of the seat fabric. It would appear that on mine it is starting to pill?

I tried taking a few pics but you cant really see what im talking about.

Im a little concerned with shaving the fabric and im thinking the more you do it the thiner the fabric will become

Thanks in advance :spoton:

Rob

Ps: my "new" diff is on the way out it would seem and only after around 5000k :fool:

My Falcon EB2 XR8 started pilling the material (a lot more ks under its belt though), and I considered using a shaver to get rid of the pills, but was worried what would happen if it ripped into the cloth.

What I ended up doing was buying a car seat fabric cleaner that had a spray on foam, and a head on the can that had a plastic scrubber to scrub after spraying. That worked really well..... Cleaned the fabric, and got rid of the pills (you vacdumed the foam and pills off).

The seats that had 240,000ks ended up looking pretty close to new (other than a small worn patch on drivers side boulster). They were a light grey cloth - so used to show up marks easier than your darker material would.

I dont remember the brand. It was a tall slim tin, red, might have been Kitten - but that is a guess. Had a spray nozzle, and a plastic scrubbing brush thing about half the size of the palm of your hand.
