  • Seat fabric fading?

    I'm suspecting that the fabric on my car is fading. It's not the deep gray that it used to be, but now seems to have a slight greenish tint.

    Is that normal or do I have bad cloth?

    Mine's the base Ebony interior.

    Take it back to the dealer and have them replace it. That's is what the warranty is for.

        Problem is all my seats seem to be doing it. And the rear seats are rarely used.

            I do remember a guy on her or g6ownersclub.com, or g6board.com that was complaining about his fabric seats losing colour/running when they got wet.

            Seems to be a common issue.

              yeah and that was the other color wasn't... must be the fabric. Maybe it doesn't take the color well

                OK. Just came back from the dealer. I first went into the dealer and asked to see another G6. The sales guy went with me to look at one and we both agreed that it's darker on the inventory one.

                So they took my baby into the bay. Service Consultant takes a lamp, shines here, shines there, and insists that there's no problem, and it's the reflection off my seatbacks and ambient lighting.

                I asked them to bring another one in, put it side by side and compare it. One service guy and me saw it's different, but the consultant still insists that it's reflection.

                They're asking me to bring it in again in the morning and they'll have the manager look at it.

                            Do you mind if I ask you which dealership you're taking it to? In Toronto or Windsor?
