nothing a little welding wont fix

and heres one of the seat, filthy, I know (it sat for a few months and got dusty, then the damp weather turned it into like afine dirt-mud)
itll be cleaned thuroughly before getting re-installed. the light of the flas deff makes it look so much worse, jeez its frickin disqusting...ugh.

Default even if the car is sitting for a month not being driven, at least spend an hour a week cleaning it

especially if you slowely watch it turn into that

Default the sport seats are weird, when its damp out hidden "spots" appear

then when the sun beats on em they kinda clear up, if you get a drop of water on them it leaves a spot, even after cleaning them.

Default any suggestions on the best way to clean the sport cloth seats?

they are an uber bitch to get clean, oh and they are heated, so i will need a technique thats heater element safe.

Third party warranty company is covering the bill though.
