Default Rear seat center section material



Does anyone know whether the center section of the rear seat (horizontal segment, below the arm-rest, between the two rear seats) is leather or vinyl?


I got a nasty scratch in that area and was wondering how to proceed. I would feel better if it were leather. Thanks!

It is likely leather (actually leather coated with a polyurethane type coating, like most car seats). See this thread for a product I and others have used to repair our seats.

The leather renew products are for repair of damaged seats. They have a paint that matches perfectly, scratch filler and patches. I used the paint a couple times on both my vehicles that are parchment and it really worked to restore that new look.
