The interior seats in my 1997 h26 are a little sticky. This is even true on the back side which has never been exposed to sunlight. I spoke to the owner of a local marine upholstery shop and she said that its just old age (the seats, not me) and that there is nothing that can be done. Washing will only make it worse. She may be right, but I would like some other opinions. Molly was shipped from the Hunter factory in 1998 and has been in Puerto Vallarta ever since so heat may have an effect. Has anyone else had this experience and has there been anything that you were able to do? David King "Molly"

Vinyl ?

I presume your interior cushions are Vinyl (or some such synthetic). If so, replace with a non-plastic fabric; there's nothing that will restore "sticky" vinyl.

Island Girl Products?

I have a vague memory of claims made by Island Girl products that renew sticky vinyl, or PVC, or something of that nature. I think the specific claim was for renewing boat fenders, but might warrant further investigation. Check out their website.
