Are there good care products for the MGV seats to keep them from drying or cracking?

Thatā€™s the plan. I have to go in for the wiper fluid pump, driveshaft boot, child safety locksā€¦fun part is hiding all the mods first šŸ˜
Child safety locks. Tell me more. People have an issue getting out of my back doors.

To be honest, Iā€™ve been a huge fan the past 16 monthsā€¦but, this pisses me off.

Dang, that looks like every '70s vinyl seat I have ever seen...only those usually had a lot more years on them. I remember when cloth was an upgrade from vinyl. I hope Ford didn't take everyone for a ride with these things...no pun intended.

Love the MGV.
Do they get hot in summer? I guess, about the same as leather. Not bad at all.
Comfortable and easy to clean.

Anyone have them? Likes or dislikes? I had Active X seats in my Maverick. Fancy name for vinyl. I liked them. Little warm when first getting in.
Love them. Live in the Phoenix area and no complaints summer or winter. Seat heaters feel like you are sitting directly over a fire.

I actually donā€™t have an issue, but there is a recall I want to get cleared and it needs to be inspected to do so.


You've used it on your truck? Any odor or residue? Can it be used on the rest of the interior too?
Yes, Iā€™ve used it - but, honestly the MGV stays so clean on its own - I use it most after a long weekend at the beach to get the salt off.

Everyone complained about the dash material - but, I find it super easy to keep clean with a microfiber I leave under the seat.

Yeah, Iā€™m still a fan of the material overall. But, after 16 months it shouldnā€™t be doing that.

Well, I got some good news, theyā€™re replacing the seat cushion cover under warranty. Part arrival TBD.

I would be very pissed off also. The MGV on my boat seats has no cracks or separations. Boat is a 2010, is out doors year round. In the sun on the lake a lot as I live on the lake.

I chose MGV for my Raptor for several reasons. First being the leather in my 2017 F-150 platinum was the crappiest quality leather of any vehicle I have owned. It had many wear spots, looked worse with 70K miles on the truck than the leather in my Wife's Range Rover with over 200K miles on it. The MGV in my boat has a fantastic feel and looks great after 12 years. Was hoping Ford would use the same quality.

I do like the MGV in my Raptor. I have no issues with it, however it does not feel as nice as the MGV in my boat.

Iā€™d take it in for repair under warranty. No way it should be split or cracked after 16 months.
