I have seen the many threads about the staining for the cloth seats, but I was very curious if any went so far as to go to stealership and demand something be done since if its under warranty?

Im just tired of the constant cleaning, I mean water stains those things WATER (wtf) and I think Nissan should at least admit that the material sux. Just had to rant a bit, it rained today. :soap:

Stains?

The only thing that could possibly stain my trucks interior is the ever so slight cup of coffee I buy or bring, and even then, I only get a stain on my shirt.

Must be kids, and even then, an ounce of prevention goes... ;)

They may have changed the material on the seats for 08. I know in my 07 if I even think about water when I look at the seats they stain. I am with you Jfree. I just don't see how even clean water can leave such a nasty stain. I have been looking at doing leather seat covers. I love my titan and not having to constantly clean the seat fabric would make me love it even more.

Well let me clarify, I have an 06 and apparantly they got the fabric right on the 08 models. Anything below the 08's water, yes water, will stain the seats and I use to detail cars for a living and any kind of blemish on my Titan gets under my skin. I dont thinks it right that any Titan owner should be forced to buy seat covers or have to constanly clean thier seats because of poor fabric material. Oh, I have a 5 month old and she rides in the back :thumbsup:

Your right,anything before 08 stinks.Seat covers are worth their weight in gold in this truck and I can't wait to get some for the front seats.Just trying to make up my mind which covers I want to get.

Wet Okoles - neoprene
Katzkins - leather

Two of the better options for covers.

Anyone have any experience with the Iggee "synthetic" leather covers? I see them on ebay all the time, and the fit looks decent.

I too thought about the seatcovers, but isn't the side airbag / curtain made into the side of the seat? Or is it only in the headliner or pillar?

Thanks..

Katzkins run about $700. I have found other leather kits that start around $400. Both prices are for front and rear seats. If you tackle the install yourself not a bad price. If you have it done I am told you can expect $300 to $600 in labor, ouch!!!! All in all though this would be a nice upgrade. I expect to be doing it in the spring.

I just put the Katzkin leather seats on. The only 2 places that I found to install them were an hour away and they were charging $1000-$1200 installed. I paid under $700 and did my self with no experience or instructions.:smoke:

When I got my truck the stealership provided a demo the the seat fabric protection they added - the sales guy spilled some coffee on the front seat. All that happened was it beaded up and stayed on top of the fabric while he went into the shop and got a towel to wipe up the mess.

The warranty I have on the seat fabric basically reads if it doesn't wipe off I can take it in to be steamed cleaned. If it still doesn't come out, they'll replace the seat covers or seat - for the next 8 years/120K miles.

I'm not to worried about the truck interior - except for the plastic - I'm probably going to scratch it sooner or later - this isn't covered unless it breaks.
