Thread: Oem cloth seat fuzzing up

I'm guessing I have this same "cheap" material, have you guys really cleaned your seats before? I'm wondering if I just vacuum and damp rag them or can I steam clean them?

Ive never had to clean mine just vacuum them on occasion. Have never spilled anything on them to need to steam them either. The material on mine are very discolored on the side were the crease is and you can see it fraying it looks like crap in my opinion got to take it back to the dealer again for this. I think ford needs to look into the seat covers cause they don't seem very durable and my truck doesn't even get abused its a pavement princess.

I used a carpet cleaner on the clothe seats in my '05 with no problem and it worked pretty well. And mine are a little frayed and were repaired by the previous owner but are still holding up well after almost 9 years and 66,000 miles.

We have very different senses of humor. I like clever, ironic and witty. You seem more like a slap-stick. So you think vandalizing other peoples vehicles is funny. I don't and your attempt at humor here is feeble.

Hey Rhino,

I was talking about the 2013. I am curious if the cloth is similar though. My last was a 1995. It is very different and seems much more durable.

I think the material they use is cheap but they charge a huge amount for it. My other truck made it 90 thousand miles with leather seats before the vinyl side cracked out. This truck only made 20 thousand before the seat cover faded and frayed. Sorry if I upset ya.

Mr. Bones,

I wasn't offended at all, so no reason to apologize. I do appreciate what you are saying and I think it might be poor quality for what it should be designed to do. So what you intended to say is Ford gets cheap/low quality and I think you are right. Did you know that Ford pays people to get in and out of vehicles all day long to check durability?

Well guy we can't all be like you or this would be a boring world. Let me guess your a liberal that lives in the city and thinks trees and bunnies are cute. Others and myself found that tread to be funny. I understand how you considered it vandalism but you don't need to criticise people in a completely different tread because of a good laugh.

Alright guys lets just put this to bed. Let it go. We all have different sense of humor and we all can't get along 24/7 but damn. Everyone deep breath in and move on.

I'm aware of the year difference, just inputting my two cents lol. The clothe is different because they change it as they change the design of the truck, however I can agree that for my gen and your gen truck the clothe material is below par and is very cheap compare to other brands of cars with cloth seats.

Alright you guys need to calm down, everyone is entitled to their opinions and such. We don't need to drag this out and bring it to every thread. We're here for trucks remember, not gossip and anger against each other. Let's just let it go an move on please.

Jimmy,

What you see as funny--I don't. Don't come on my thread with silly comments about my "moldy wallet". Please don't guess at my politics. While I could explain basic economics, they are a different subject than trees and bunnies. If you looked up the economic philosophy of Western Michigan University, you will find that they are very conservative, as am I.

Glad I didn't offend you Rex seems some folks are getting testy here for some reason. I agree the material seems cheap but that seems the way of everything these days. It is just aggravating the material is not better quality. I know my warranty is covering but still its just annoying having the same issue three times. I think they are hoping I will not push the issue this time because my warranty is getting close to its end but I got a few months left so I will keep an eye on this one and hopefully get it replaced. Hope they warranty yours for ya.

That just reminded me, The guy at ford told me if my seats get dirty and I can't get them clean with a damp rag then they clean them for free. Forget spending my time cleaning dust out of the seat, I'm getting it done for free.
