I have a 2007 Eos. Black leather interior. My problem is that the seat bottoms are showing some deterioration. There are areas that have become dull and have a different texture from the original leather. There has never been any water damage from rain. I do leave the top down and park in the sun at times. The car is garaged nightly. I am concerned about way this damage is reducing the value of the car and certainly detracts from the appearance. I am wondering if any other owners have had a similar problem or advice. I have tried leather cleaner and conditioner to no avail. Are interiors corvered under the warranty which is still in effect as I have only about 23000 miles.

Not sure if seat wear/tear is covered. Pretty sure they are not. Since it is an 07, might want to keep a lookout on ebay or salvage yards. If an eos is totaled (minus the seats of course) your probably the only one seeking a new driver seat - at this moment in time due to #'s made and on the road.

The following link is to a product that will protect vinyl and leather from sun damage and body oil and moisture damage.

I've been using this product for a while and really like the results.

It was recommned to me by the Service Manager at my VW dealership. He also uses it for the Eos seals.
