RECARO foam, fabrics, vinyls and leathers are premium quality, but like all fabrics, they do wear if they are not cared for and treated correctly. It is important to employ the following to ensure your seats look as new for years to come:

• Enter and exit the vehicle without sitting your weight on the side bolster. The side bolster is designed to provide your thighs support when you’re seated, but are not designed to take your weight upon entry and exist. If you put your weight on the seat entering and exiting the vehicle, you will damage the foam and material overtime. This can be repaired, but your warranty does not cover wear and tear caused by incorrect use.
• Avoid standing, and placing heavy or sharp items on the seat. This can cause damage to the foam or penetrate a hole in the material.
• Sunscreen, UV, insect repellant and sweat dry out materials and will cause discolouration and cracking. Avoid your seats coming in contact with sunscreen and sweat wherever possible. Using the Bowden’s Own products above will protect your seats from damage from sunscreen, UV and sweat.
• Black Duck Seat Covers offer custom made covers for most RECARO models. If your seat requires extra protection, get in touch with us for pricing and information.
