I have a 1973 convertible with what I believe are the original vinyl seat covers in 413 Dark Blue. They are in great shape, almost no wear, except I am getting a yellow dust / powder coming through. I believe this is caused by seat foam disintegrating from age.
I called Al Knoch to inquire about this and purchase a pair of foam cushions, which I thought must be the reason for the dust, and because the seats are sagging a bit. I was advised that the dust is actually coming from the seat covers themselves, from foam that was applied to the underside of the mesh, and that it is not easily repairable. And that the dust cannot be coming from the seat cushions.
It seems a shame to replace original seat covers that are in otherwise good shape and have the factory color. I would rather find a reasonable way to salvage the original seat covers somehow, and only replace the seat cushion foam to address the sagging. If possible.
Would really appreciate some experienced advice on what to do. Thanks.
