The seats in my HG premier are dry and brittle and are starting to split at stitching. Anyone know of a product to soften the vinyl? |

there is nothing you can do to fix that
" To make PVC upholstery soft and pliable plasticizing oils are added to the formulation.
Over time these oils migrate out of the upholstery leaving it brittle, causing it to crack
and peel. "
just out of interest
the reason modern pvc vinyl eg 1980,s - 2000 will not last like the 1930,s - 1970,s is
Vinyl Chloride is the �VC� of PVC ( vinyl ) upholstery, and is also a cancer causing carcinogen
the VC content was slowly reduced over time which also reduced the quality of the pvc ,
