rnettleship Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I recently got my car back from the trim shop. I spent the extra money to use "Original" material purchased from SMS Fabric. The car looks great but I have noticed when it is humid the material sags a bit. I can run a hair dryer over it and it tightens right back up. Are there any tricks of the trade or is this par for the course for old cars? I am planning on putting some scotch guard on the panels that will be prone to getting a little wet. I'm hoping that might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 One thought about scotch guard is that it helps to repel water, etc. but can have an affinity for dirt and the upholstery will get dirtier quicker. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I'd put a desiccant bag of some type under the seats if the car is stored in humid conditions. You should be able to find it at WalMart or any sporting goods store that sells gun safes.It will turn color when saturated and can then be dried and recharged in a regular oven.

rnettleship Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 We have a nice warm, dry day in NJ and the interior is tight as a drum. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
