Fkit Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I just bought a new 2013 Edge SEL with the appearance pkg last Thurs. :happy feet: One of the first things I noticed when test driving it was how spongy and plastic feeling the "leather-wrapped wheel" is. Anyone know if it's real or just pleather. If it's fake (which I'm pretty sure it is), that's BS that Ford markets it as real leather.

It's real but it has a protective coating that makes it feel fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fkit Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's real but it has a protective coating that makes it feel fake. Hmm,...okay, good. Sure feels fake though. Real leather usually doesn't feel stretchy like that. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jRE Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 If it has stitching then more likely it's real leather. Vinyl or pleather will rip through the stitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
