Door inserts: Leather or Vinyl?

Okay, the reason I need to know is because when I'm applying leather conditioner, I don't want to waste it on the vinyl parts. I got the thought from a thread in 3G. I know the seating surfaces are leather, and the bottoms and backs are vinyl. I'm unsure about the headrests too. The center console is thin leather I think.

The door inserts, seat bottoms and backs, and headrests are leather. You can tell the difference between the to when you touch it. Hope this helps.

They're leather, of a tougher variety in the inserts.

Yup, all of the seats and the small door inserts are leather but that is all.

Thanks, that does help. It's just that the leather cleaner that I was using (that my parents bought for their chair) was expensive so I'm trying to conserve it where possible. This helps. Thanks!

I would recommend using a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically made for automotive use. The ones for furniture typically don't have the UV protection that the automotvie ones do since they are intended for use indoors... Just a recommendation.
