Why were there so many complaints about the glue on the backing melting into leather?

I have fabric seats and they also melted onto them. I'm afraid to try and remove the mat from my seat because I know it's going to be a mess and my seat is probably ruined.

I don't know, we have leather seats and I don't see any glue anywhere on the back of the mat or on the seat.

i hope that doesn't happen to my vehicle's because i have leather seats in both. i see no sign of sticky residue or glue coming from the back of the mats so far.

The leather is not hard enough to get a good imprint. Most likely the silver or gold embossing medium would flow and cause a smeared look. Sorry wish I could tell you different.

Hello Gerald! I'm not skilled on types of leather. Its embossed on both sides, not so smooth, the boards prevent the cover touching the screen directly and the inner part of the cover is not embossed, getting smoother. The quality is good for the price, and protect the tab very well, after placing the Tab on it I quit using the plastic protective skin on the touchscreen. Hope it helps.

There are a number of good glues out there, but part of what works best will depend on the leather surface. Is it polished or does it have some texture? If it is smooth you may need to rough it up some. Same goes for the belt clip. That done, you could use hot melt glue or something like Quick Grip. If that doesn't hold, you may want to look at riveting the clip to another piece of leather and glue leather to leather. Hope this helps.

My advice for what it is worth: Since my fiasco with Black Jacket (it kept coming off the leather and staining my clothing, chairs, etc.), I have learned quite a bit about various types of leather and leather jackets. My suggestion would be to try Pecard's leather conditioning on a small area that is not visible and see if it helps. The Pecard's might temporarily darken the leather a little but it eventually should return to normal. If you use Pecard's, follow the directions -- you are supposed to let it soak into the leather for at least 24 hours, if I recall correctly. If the black stuff is coming off the jacket now (try scraping a fingernail across it), don't use anything. Instead, bring it to a professional leather cleaners and they probably will have to clean it before you do any kind of treatment. For further research, check a web site forum called the "Fedora Lounge." In the section on outwear, they have a lot of information about leather jacket issues. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I wouldn't buy this jacket. It's very well made and I really like the look of it, but it has a VERY strong chemical smell from the tanning process and I'm having a very hard time getting rid of that smell. I contacted the company that manufactures the jacket and they said all leather smells. This isn't my first rodeo, nor leather jacket and I'm here to tell you that I have never had one smell like this before. It's too bad too, because it really is a nice jacket.

In my experience, rubber cement works well on leather (over the years I have used it to make many lasting repairs). Coat both sides of the leather to be joined, let it dry, then carefully position and press the pieces together. Obviously this won't work in every situation, but it is worth a try. (FYI, when making laced leather products like wallets, the lacing is lengthened by cutting a 1/8" 45 degree slice off the top side of one piece and off the bottom side of the other (to keep the shiny top-side continuous) and then rubber-cementing them together in the manner described above.)

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

That is a hard question because new leather is appealing to most and it has that smell more so than chemical however, if I were you I'D find a furniture store that carries it or something similar and let the nose be your guide. I will say that the odor was rather mild.

So many people have been complaining about this. It happens too me too. It's really just not made that well. You can glue it in I suppose, but as another person said in my knitting group "If I pay for something I shouldn't have to glue it, hammer it, nail it, together to get it to work properly." I have to agree with that.

The information on the package doesn't reccomend using on any unfinished leather, or fake leather. Ihope this helps.

The first time that happened to me as well. I used water to make the leather more playable at first. Now after a few months they are broken in and work much better. They will be tight the first few times out but moisture makes them better after a few uses.

I've had mine a year and a half. It is bonded leather but it has held up unbelievably well!

The leather is natural. It doesnt last thought. After 3 months use the back portion pealed off

Lisa I had the same problem. I believe it has something to do with the sealer they put on the faux wood. I bought a different cover and the problem has pretty much gone away. I like the fire put but there definately is an issue that the manufacturer should address.Jeff

it could fray I suppose it's like a cloth version of leather. It's actually very cool stuff but it's hard to call it leather or even leatherette

No it didn't, I don't know what Prop 65 warning would be there for other than the polish/finishes on the leather. It's basically leather, nylon, spandex/elastic But there was no warning from the Manufacturer
