Guys
hopefully some of your tips will,be added on to this thread so all of us can benefit from your knowledge.
One of mine is my distaste for the Feds mandated white warning sticker on the visors of all our newer cars. They cannot be pealed off without damage to the visor or cost a bunch to put new fabric and doesn't look good.
If you will visit a crafts shop like "hobby lobby" and look for the section that approx. 12"x18" fabrics, (some look like leather) there are more than 20 different textures and colors. I found one that is a perfect match to my visor material. Cost 99 cents. I cut the new material to the size of the visor sticker, Bought some contact cement, applied cement to one side of the fabric and to the sticker on the visor. It will make the sticker disappear.
I've done this to my last 3 cars. Works great
Another interior tip would be to use a swifter for removing the dust that gets onto the dash. and it works well on your rims for light dusting.
Another detail question. My driver seat bolster is showing some wear. Anyone know of a shoe polish that matches the Kalihari leather color? Comfort seats 2700 miles, lots of in and outs.

VF, I would take it back to your dealer. With that little miles, there should be no excuse for leather wear.
I got one set from a different company that turned out to be vinyl and they looked like crap. I got the Mid America covers next and while not perfect, will do the job and are a pretty good match. They have been on for about 3 months and I don't even notice them now. I'd get them again.

Actually if you have the 3LZ interior the warning sticker on the visors just peel off. Maybe use a hair dryer to help, did mine in less than a minute.
