Uh oh. I better change where I live... Might wake up one morning and someone replaced my interior with beige.

I'll take a pic of the headliner today for sr20mofo to see. I dropped the car off at the local dealer to do the transmission drain and refill as well as the differential fluid. Interesting how these policies vary from dealer to dealer.

I asked the service manager but he did not know. I did not pursue it after that. It's quite a procedure to do it on the 'sealed' transmission. I think I'll do it again in another 6 months.

Saddle interior is great man, nice buy. I'm close to getting one as you know, wonder if I should wait it out for something unique like this....

Comb the suede headliner in one direction to make it new. Here is some how to info I found on this board.

Lightly brush the headliner with a natural-latex sponge or a horsehair brush, they have very soft bristles that are gentle and is specially made for headliners or leather surfaces, this will loosen dust / dirt and make vacuuming easier (for very light dust or lint use a rolling lint brush)
·Do not use a stiff brush as you may snag or tear the headliner material
