Are the door trims leather or vinyl? - Nissan Murano

bigdongers · 12-22-2005, 01:23 AM

can someone tell me if the door trims in leather MOs are leather or vinyl? Don't want to use leather cleaner on them if the trims are vinyl.

According to the Nissan website, the Leather Package is comprised of "Leather-appointed seats".

It is a safe bet the door trim is vinyl.

All interior, except for center of the seats is either plastic or vinyl.

what??! so even the seat bolsters are vinyl? That sucks!

Does using leather cleaner on vinyl hurt the vinyl?

That is not unique to the MO. Leather is usually found only on the seating surfaces of the seats, steering wheel, and shifter knob.

Unless you are driving an extremely high-end car, leather is not that plentiful.

Quality aftermarket leather (Example - Classic Softtrim) will give you a full leather seat, + leather trim on the doors.

I have a feeling vinyl cleaner will not harm leather, and vice versa.

there's no way that leather cleaner/conditoner will harm the vinyl. i mean the vinyl has to be moisturized also and it's just man made but has most of the smae properties of leather.

I AGREE ... I USE LEATHER CLEANER ON VINYL. IT WON'T HURT AT ALL. MEGUIARS VINYL & LEATHER CLEANER / PROTECTANT / CONDITIONER IN A SPRAY BOTTLE... IT'S DOES THE JOB...LEAVING YOU MO SMELLING LIKE NEW LEATHER SMELL...

OH YEAH BABY !!

NEW LEATHER SMELL.
