I forgot where I posted this question, so I'm just creating a new thread.

Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows if the following are vinyl or leather on the SL:
1. Steering Wheel
2. Dashboard
3. Center Arm Consol
4. Gear Shift Handle

I'm not sure if I should use leather treatment or vinyl treatment on them. Thanks.

 

1. Steering Wheel-leather on both SE and SL
2. Dashboard-Vinyl on both SE and SL
3. Center Arm Consol- Leather on both SE and SL
4. Gear Shift Handle- Leather on both SE and SL
5. Parking brake lever- leather on both SE and SL

 

I thought Parking Brake Lever was plastic...

 

I think the parking brake lever cover is leather. The end of the handle is different than the base of the lever. If you check on the underside of the lever, there is a sewn seam on the leather (at least there is on my SL). If yours is indeed the same way, the fact that you thought it was plastic speaks to how tightly stretched the leather is. Great fit and finish for this part of the Maxima, huh?

 

You know, you can stitch vinyl as well as leather...

 

I agree, and I'm still not 100% certain it's leather or not. It doesn't feel like vinyl to me, but it could be.

 

the parking brake is leather I assure you...if you still don't believe me then go do your own research....www.nissanusa.com...done
