Dry "leather" on door panels
The "leather" (vinyl I think) fabric in the door panels of my TL-S is drying out for some reason. The driver's door side is drying out faster than the other three doors but it's definitely becoming more brittle and hard.
What can I do to recondition the pleather and make it more supple? Will any vinyl reconditioner work?
It IS vinyl, isn't it?

I checked mine out this morning and the stuff on the door feels and looks like leather as oppose to the pleather you find on the non-seating surface of the seats. If it is leather use Lexol to clean and condition it. People on this board say Lexol is good stuff.

I'm still looking for a store that sells Lexol Vinylex.
