Spilled drink

[DemonGT]

I had a drink spill in my drivers seat. I have the leather heated and cooled seats. Most of the liquid seemed to run between the crack of the back rest and seat
bottom and onto the rear floor mat which luckily is the rubber all weather kind. Do i need to worry about the electronics of the seat and is there any way to clean
the seat bottom other then just some interior cleaner and whipping it down? As far as i know there is no way to extract a leather seat?

You could pull the leather off the lower part of the seat, but I doubt it will damage anything.

It depends on how bad it is, but if you want to clean the seat very thoroughly you could take the seat out, take it apart, take the seat covers off and clean the foam padding, seat frame and the covers. This would be a lot of work and probably not worth the effort unless you can't live with the thought of leaving the spill in the cushions, etc.

By the way I think these seat covers are more vinyl than leather, but I could be wrong about that.

Good luck with the cleanup!

DEFINITELY more vinyl than leather at least the Recaros are.

If I had a spill like this in my seat, I would really saturate the seat with a spray on leather cleaner and let it sink into the perforated holes to break down the sticky syrup from the soda and then use a steamer, followed by the tips in this video. Short of removing the leather cover, this would probably be the quickest and best way to get a good clean on it.
