Makes sense. Vinyl is a little more durable, so they put that in place where it gets stretched the most. The rear seats are more leather than vinyl I think, right?

I knew something was up with this leather. It was so rough and textured I just thought it was low quality leather.

vynil or vinyl........

basically armorall would work but I've enjoyed the look and feel of my pleather seats after treating it with mequire's leather treatment wipes. It does make it feel softer. Or maybe that was just my mind playing games with me since I thought they were leather.
