Hey guys i just installed 2 black leather recaro seats in my supra. the only problem i have is that my targa top leaks!!!

i dont want the water to rot out the leather. i always put a towel on the seats when it rains, but seat is still often moist afterwards. Is there soemthign i can put on them to waterproof them and preserve them or soemthing? thanks!

New seals is the easiest way I guess

Guess I'm lucky...this car has no targa leaks. My 94 leaked on the passenger side and it was pretty minor.

Quick Google search for "leather waterproofing" turned up quite a bit of good info.

Hey You!!! STFU

You're just jealous.

Are new seals a dealer only thing, or can someone post a better link? Any ideas on pricing would also be appreciated

Definitely a dealer only item, hop on supraforums and get a quote from one of the sponsors there.

[supraGhost]

did those seals solve the problem for you?


i want to be careful about what kind of junk i rubinto my seats. i dont want any bleaching and colorfading and especially i dont want my pants to be oily or waxy when i get out of my seat.

New targa seals are FTW!!
In the meantime place a plastic trash bag under your towel that catches the rain water.

Saran-wrap FTW.
