DCRANER Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have an 09 Vette convertible with the two tone seats with embroidered cross flag emblem stitched into the head rests. So, the sun is starting to fade the emblem slightly. Can I put some type of fabric protector on the stitched emblem to preserve it? Any suggestions?

0 Rich Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Scotch makes a good fabric protector you could try. Check the bottle or can for an spf factor..........the higher the number the more protection. And if you're parked in the sun, use a sun shield on the windshield. There are lots of different ones on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GerryC Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Never used it, but I remember at Carlisle, anyone who asked Adam about protecting fabric or convertible tops, that is the product he recommended until he comes out with his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 justinN1_C5 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Could you just flip the seat backs forward when you are parking out in the sun?? I do this in my coupe - if nothing else it prevents the seats from getting so stinking hot and burning your a$$ when you get back in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
DCRANER
I have an 09 Vette convertible with the two tone seats with embroidered cross flag emblem stitched into the head rests.
So, the sun is starting to fade the emblem slightly. Can I put some type of fabric protector on the stitched emblem to preserve it?
Any suggestions?
