Parchment seat + Vert question
Working on my '07 Windveil Blue order sheet and have a question to the vert owners in the audience w/parchment interiors...how difficult has it been keeping the interior clean? Do cloth seats pose a greater challenge than leather in this color? I've owned a '96 GT w/a tan leather interior for 10 years now and other than some issues in the footwell with the mats, keeping it clean has not been hard (ditto w/the leather seats). My wife, OTOH, is no great fan of leather and is pushing for cloth. Thanks!

P.S. Yes, it will have heated seats -- with all the titanium harware in my back (courtesy all those carrier landings) I've found heated seats have a great theraputic effect even in summer

The tan interior is probably going to get dirty, especially in a vert, and the cloth obviously won't be as easy to clean. Also, I don't think you can get factory heated seats with cloth interior, although you could have aftermarket heaters installed. I considered cloth for my vert too (in dark charcoal though, not tan) but after looking a few Mustang rental cars with several thousand miles on them I didn't like the way the cloth was holding up. On the ones I saw, the cloth was stretched, loose, and puckered in the butt area.

Cloth seats in a vert just don't hold up. Cloth fades way more than the leather will. My 99 GT had the tan interior and top. The top developed a couple dark spots near the bows, which I could never fully clean.
My 90 Miata had a black cloth interior. By the end of the first year, you could tell it ahd started to fade.

I am going on my 4th GT vert. All have been leather as it is a lot easier to keep clean in my opinion.
Off the subject, I worked Departure and Marshall in CATTC on the Ranger on two Gulf of Tonkin cruises; also worked Patuxent Approach. I was fortunate enough to make a couple cat launches and traps myself. What did you fly? And by the way thanks for your service. Naval Aviation is the best!
