| I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty limited. I noticed that the seats easily stain, with water. When it rains little raindrops get on the seats when I open the door to get out and the spots stain. I'm wondering if people have the same problem and if you put anything on the seats, like a stain protector or something? | |
| I have the same trouble with staining with plain ol' water. Ideas? | |

Replying to: kobe8rice41 (Jan 20, 2007 7:51 am)  800 992 1997 and complained about the stain on the seats. I have been told that there have been very few complaints of seats being soiled by just plain rain water. 5 times I have been given the same sales pitch! Two weeks ago I emailed the customer care and gave them 6 things our Jeep Liberty CRD needed. Today I called the selling dealers detail shop. The manager admitted the Liberty seats were very difficult to clean. He said he uses plain steam to get it out, but there are some seats that just can't be dome very well. Armed with this information I was loaded for a gun fight. The woman put me on hold for about 20 minuets. Finally she said the 2006 Liberty's have a seat cleaning warning for dealers. These seats are very much like canvass. The material is a very tight weave. When any liquid comes in contact with the seat material, the dirt comes to the top and makes a stain. The DCX instructions say to clean the seats with warm (not hot) water, the whole seat. Then use a wet/dry vac and suck as much as you can out of the material. Then do the same thing with cold water. Vac the seats again. Let dry and vac one more time. She says DCX said it will look like new....LOL Time will tell! My selling dealer said he would have the seats steamed if this does not work. ABOVE ALL ELSE DO NOT USE SCOTTS GUARD!!! Treating the seats will actually make more stains that won't come out. This is what DCX says. If anyone trys this before I do, please tell us how it works.

This is our 2nd liberty, and we had this problem with our 2004, so when we got a new 2006 I scotch guarded the seats the second I got home and it really did help prevent stains. They still look good 20,000 miles later.

Replying to: kobe8rice41 (Jan 20, 2007 7:51 am) I noticed the 2007's have a tag on the seats advertising static and stain resistant. Maybe Jeep took note of your comments and are trying to improve. My big problem with my Liberty is she is a piggy, 12 mpg city and 14 mpg highway. I have never own another car I did not get in the EPA rating for gas mileage. My 94 Jetta got even better than the EPA rating. I am naming her Miss Piggy. Even so, this Jeep is a lot better than any GM vehicle. They just took care of ball joint recall. With My GM truck you needed a Lawyer to get any warranty or recall work done.
