Hen's teeth comes to mind

This is what started all my troubles, the variable assist electronics on the steering rack. It was one thing, then another, mostly due to the ineptitude of David Taylor, now Sterling McCall Cadillac in Houston.

Just an ass ugly look

Having a service contract won't help much when over half of the parts for the car aren't available.

Just a suggestion. If you intend on keeping your X, a TECH II is almost a required piece of equipment.

I believe a top relearn will solve that problem. Mine would act up about once a year with the same symptoms but a top relearn would fix it.

Not a bad idea, but when you get into an area with no cell service puts you in a bad position.

Good luck. That's exorbitant

I bought the kit. It included everything needed for spot repairs. It does need to be feathered out past the spot repair for better blending

Yep, no removal. When I got the car it was 10 years old and the seats hadn't been taken care of. The leather wasn't cracking, but plenty of "wrinkles". I treated the area twice, then used Zaino leather treatment. I treated the seats once a month and never had to use the dye again. The secret is...

You have to be careful, as the air bags are located in the outside pads of the seats. Plus those speaker covers are old by now and can be cracked easily when removing them. I've used Seat Doctor on both of my vehicles and the dye blends in when dry for a perfect match.

One of my oldies, I actually went into Richmond Upholstery with my XLR. They replaced the outer/upper panel on the driver's seat for me. It was a perfect match. I've also used Seat Doctor's dye several times. Again, I had good luck with that stuff as well

Find someone to "dip" it with a look a like wood grain.
