As in my earlier post, I took the piece of fabric off of the spacer between the front seat and console. This appears to be the same fabric used on the fuzzy trim (we used to call this windlace or wire-on). I sprayed it with Palomino SEM Color Coat which is a popular product used for vinyl and palstic, and it looks like crap. I thought about using a dye, but the synthetic fabric probably won't absorb it. Also the SEM Color Coat is translucent and I don't think it would cover the gray and black marks in the corners of the trim where the air has leaked in. So I think I will spend the 200 or so bucks to replace them with new from the dealer. I will use the SEM product to coat the hard plastic trim around the windows to match. I think it will make a huge difference in the appearance of the interior!
