So I pulled the leather off the 906's seat today with the intention of recovering it and discovered mold. Is there a way of getting ride of the mold in the foam? |

I hope to meet you soon! But for now, I'm repairing my 750 Paso after a recent fuel fire: a bit melty.

The mold is from the leather, not from the foam. Wash the foam, then treat the leather. Keep it dry is the key. Cheers, |

If you haven't put the seat cover back on the base yet, there is one trick you can do keep it happier for longer. Stop by a quilting store, fabric store, or upholstery store and pick up some batting. Its a non woven mat of poly that is commonly wrapped around foam before the fabric cover is applied. It will smooth out the contours, and let a bit of air under the leather to keep it from getting moldy. Cheers, |
