Re: [Chrysler300] Dawn and gassy vinyls

["Dave Grove Grove Automotive" <groveautomotive@xxxx>]

One other thing - perhaps the "better" vinyl would also not SMELL so bad!?
There are a couple of "restored" vehicles in here for repairs/service, with
obviously new (vinyl) upholstery, and the odor from the interior is
borderline nauseating when you get in them if the doors have not been opened
for a day or two. I have to keep the windows rolled up on both cars or they
smell up the whole shop. Not really sure how "old" the upholstery is, but I
know that one car has been "around" in it's present form for at least a
year.
Now that I think about it, - I had the door panels re-done on my 59 Sport
Fury back around 1988. These panels are only about half vinyl, and the rest
is cloth, and 14 years later they *still* "stink".(pretty sure the guy used
the "cheap stuff" - I know him).

Regards,
DaveG.
