clarkwgriswold Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Most local car audio places can get suede. Not the big box stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog33 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 is that suede material or a woven kind of fabric. im just curious who to call, or where to look online, to get this material thanks p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biz77 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I've been on the hunt for stock-like a-pillar material for three years. When you find it, let me know where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8dwn Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 It's the same material type (not sure about color) they use in Audis. Look at the "Disco" versions toward the bottom on this page. Looks like the same material. http://www.miamicorp.com/products/CLOTH/AFTERMARKET%20CLOTH/POLYESTER/SPACER.aspx Here's the sample card: http://www.miamicorp.com/customer/micorp2/images/sample%20cards/spacer%20card.pdf Looks pretty close. You can request a free sample by emailing: mmazzaro@miamicorp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biz77 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 If that is indeed the case, I will work with my contact there to see if I can find an exact or almost exact match. Either way, I'll post in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str8dwn Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 phildogg33 - the black from Miami Corp was pretty close in terms of texture, but yeah the taupe was off. Could always do them black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC GT Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Anyone know what to use to clean the A-pillar material? I recently had my windshield replaced and the worker got smudges all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbang Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The cheap option...go to wal-mart, car aisle, turtle wax interior upholstery cleaner. Pretty simple stuff...find the can with the little scrubby attached to the end. I found that putting a healthy layer of the cleaner on, letting it soak in for a min, then lightly brushing it in badly stained areas does the trick. I use an actual bath towel and used it to press/blot (not rub) the excess cleaner out. Worked wonders on my a-pillars where the previous owner was not so careful with smoking or staining the headliner with who-only-knows Anyone know what to use to clean the A-pillar material?

CDubbs Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Don't scrub too hard, the fabric is fragile. Left an unopened coke in my cup holder over the summer in the sun while out of the country... When using one of the interior cleaners, the scrubbing head was apparently designed for durable cloth seats and I messed up the fabric a bit in one spot. Oh, and the coloring in soda stains the map light/sunroof console pretty bad if it sits for awhile. No, the name has nothing to do with bragging about 20 inch wheels...

dingbang Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yeah, light srubbing...i usually use a soft bristle toothbrush lightly in heavily soiled spots. But still...very light pressure. As the stuff dries it will lighten up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
