Mike, what's the interior code, is it the same? I need to get some leather dye for the driver's side seat (wear on the edge of the sport seat :cry )

It's not U68!
The correct code is U213A.

On my build sheet it shows U68, but I remember seeing that U213A number somewhere, but I can't remember.

Thrills: the Ruby Leather shows "793" and the Ruby Interior shows "79I"
I have gotten Ruby Red Int. paint at Mid America, but not sure if you can use that on Leather. It works great on the plastic and carpet.

One more thing I forgot to tell you, is that you can use shoe polish on your leather seats on the wear marks, I use the color "Cordovan" it works great and matches the Ruby leather pretty good.

"Oxblood" shoe polish works pretty well too...

Mike, there's a place here in ft Worth that you can buy the actual leather dye, my father in law restores a lot of cars and does the interior work himself. he says a small amount that I'll need will be less than $5.00. Also I found a vinyl dye in ZIP but he says DON'T use vinyl dye on leather, so he's going to get me the leather dye at this place The Leather Store

Thanks!
Jenn
