Was just wondering if anyone had some type of headrest issue?
i rarely put my head on the headrest and the few times that i did, it left an oily stain on the leather. pretty sure from the oil on my hair/head and i dont use any hair products. I've tried using leather cleaner (zaino), but you can still see a circle spot. My previous cars with leather seats never had this type of issue. Do you think it would be covered by warranty? or do you guys have any suggestions on how to clean this?

Just had that come up the other day LOL

I use McGuire's leather cleaner and conditioner. The main this is cleaning it first.

Just let your soul glo!

So did Jheri curls come back in and I missed it? I need to grow my hair back out so I can get one. Again.



Just kidding man. Most any good leather cleaner will get it out. Try the Lexol cleaner ad conditioner. And no, this is absolutely not covered by the warranty. Why would it be?

I had the same issue (4" x 3" oval spot) with the driver's side headrest since new even though I stopped using Soul Glo back in the '70s. Even thought about shaving my head, but figured the spot would become even worse

Swapped the headrest with the passenger side and never encountered the issue with the replacement headrest used on the driver's side. Tried using Windex to clean the spot, but it never fully went away. On a whim I treated the spot last month with some leather conditioner and the spot disappeared and has not come back. Maybe the leather is so genuine and fresh that it's still oozing cow.

Anyone know a good place to order a replacement headrest online?

Thanks

My suggestion would be to check your local junk yards. It would be a cheaper solution than trying to go through a dealership.

Some people have success using a Magic Eraser to remove shininess from steering wheel leather. I personally have never tried since I like broken in leather, but you might give it a go.

Just as a warning, some people have said this actually can damage the leather (or vinyl). So I'd try this cautiously. If you're serious about replacement, I figure it's worth a shot.
