Don;

 

My 55 Newport had the foam behind the fabric return to powder, while the foam behind the leather remained supple. My solution is to re-do the entire interior since the leather was cracked and torn and the fabric soiled and in shreds before I got the car. I am having Ron Fryer, www.autoupholsterykits.com, remake the seat covers and the door panels for me. I will search the internet for foam vendors.

Subject: IML: Need cure for "yellow dandruff'

I am continually cleaning up residue on my burgundy carpet that looks like "yellow dandruff."  In reality it is urethane foam particles from my seats.  The foam is getting hard and brittle from age and I was curious if anyone has found a way to slow or stop this aging process short of a complete seat redu.
