What does leather-trimmed seats mean? I went to an upolstry shop to fix a tear in a bucket seat, and showed me that my seat was vinyl not leather. Looked at original option sticker and said :leather trimmed seat. How much leather is on the bucket seat...tia


It means somewhere on the seat there's a strip of leather.

Kind of slimey marketing, that. I can tell you in 1994 and 1995 the Town & Country came with "leather" seats that are, in fact, leather. Except, that is, for the sides and backs of the seats. The sides and backs are vinyl. However, the leather is so thin that unless you bathe the seat in leather conditioner every 6 months or so, it gets hard and cracks. I know this from experience.
