Dye for 06 RTX seat. Pics of solid black seat

Hey guys...

I had some issues with my 06 RTX seat....lots of guys like me had the probs with the material lumping up after long rides and getting huge creases in it ect ect.....

my dealer warrenteed my cover and I asked for an 07 RTX cover...i hated the silver stripes from the get go....

one thing we noticed when the seat cover came in...the 07 rtx has some changes in the foam...its definitely stiffer then 06 but yammie must have decided to change some things with the cover near the back....

if youve seen one you cans see a crease/seem near back just infront of the trunk...yammie decided to install straps which HOLD that new SEEM down into the foam...so there is no more probs with the seat cover going back into shape after a long ride...it holds it much better now...

I had my upholstery guy install it,hes done alot of seats for me in past and he knew exactly why yammie did this change....he sees alot of this.

here are some pics of my 06 rtx with 07 seat cover.

Stumper- I looked but I must have thrown the can out. It was a spray and I bought it from my local automotive paint supplier. If I can I will try to reach out to them and find out. There are some good ones posted earlier in this post you can get on line as well. I love the look- big difference. LaLaLa

Thanks for looking all the same! Have a good one.
 
Rod, Not sure the code, but you may check with your dealer to see if they can get you that code your looking for. Not so sure you will find excatly that color in a dye, so you may be better off going black. Good luck bud...BBY

My seat cover is all stretched out too. I have the extended waranty but wasn't sure if it would be covered. Sounds like they just gave you a new cover? Is that it or did they send out a whole seat assembly. Any key phrases to use when trying to get this covered.

Thanks

Yeah,I want to know the same thing,same seat problem here
 
Duplicolor sells a vinyl dye in a spray can that works goog too . $7 i think at any parts store .
I did a whole interior of a 66 mustang i had a few years back . looked awsome and held up great .
 
seat dye

i did mine this past weekend and it turned out fantastic
i used SEM brand vinyl "dye" and their vinyl prep.
 
So what kind of preping needs to be done before you give it a go? Is it a simple spray on or would you have to do more than just one coat?
