How many owners have stained seats in there tC. I've had mine replaced once by the dealer and they are all stained again. As far as I can tell it's just water stains cased by opening the door in the rain. These are not regular stains caused by pop or food. These are water stains that don't come out. Almost looks like fadding of the fabric

I don't even want to ask.

 

^^^ go ahead and ask...

 

I had some stains but I cleaned them with that orange carpet cleaner from autozone. Worked like a charm.

 

are you sure they aren't neil patrick harris love stains?

 

stains/sports are normal..... it's a part of using you car.

cleaning them is just maintainance.

just buy some upholstery or carpet cleaner from an auto parts store and clean them.

 

i totally understand where your coming from...my back seats are REALLY bad...ive tried cleaning them but they come back...it sucks..lol but i bought seat covers so no worries...i thought i was the only one with this problem lol

 

hmm can't say that I ever had this problem with my 05 ...and I had it til 36,000 miles......

 

its caused by the rain. The dealer said it was normal.

 

Those would be on the back seat. "You'll see."

 

I had the same stains in my car from the rain and I used prestone interior cleaner. It's a red can with a brush on top. Took the stains right out.

 

nice ill give that a try!

 

use spray paint

 

Theres actually some type of Toyota product that cleans it right up. I forget what it is but somone bought it and said that it worked perfectly.

 

yeah i have those stains too. annoys the crap outta me. looks like i was doing something dirty on my seat lol

 

 

I think I have what your talking about on my drivers side seat, Im gonna have to try this

 

How the hell do you get rain water on the back seat?

 

x2!!!!! hahaha

 

There are very simple forces at work here:

Most people don't concider the DUST, SKIN CELLS, CRUD that falls on the interior of your car every second of every day. This "dust" accumulates and imbeds itself in the fabric of your seats. You'd SEE this dust if you looked. (Just like smacking a pillow on your sofa in the sunlight) But, usually, it goes un-noticed and continues to build.

In a car such as the tC with a cloth interior, the dust/dirt will do messed-up things when exposed to water....ie. RAIN or spills. Think of it like an ink spot on a coffee filter....are you following?

The only REAL solution is to NEVER get the seats wet....cause you do NOT want to know what's living in the fabric!!!

LOL!!!
