Waiting to hear back from Moose Motors about the power steering unit. Experimented a little with the rear seat. Brought out the steam cleaner; using it, mild cleaner, stiff brush, and a vacuum I cleaned half of the seat to see if it could come back to life. I am pleased with the results. The camera fails to capture the gold thread that runs throughout the fabric. It really catches the eye in the light. The only issue with the seats is the fabric that is not normally seen. It is a lesser grade fabric and has not survived the years well. Also, the fabric on the top edge of both front and rear have UV damage. Lighter color (faded). Was considering a blue dye.
