"any ideas on how to get this old coffee out of the seat foam without taking > the seat apart...?" Chris, if you'll keep doing what you are doing, eventually the amount of residue in the foam will begin to dissipate. I had a stainless thermos, full of coffee, "explode" while it was sitting on the psgr. seat, while the van was in PHX in June/July at Karl's while the tranny was being fixed. He did a hell of a job of cleaning and that's what he faced but at least it was caught early .... more recent probably made that a little easier but still a patience-job. I finished the project after getting the van back home. One thing that will facilitate extracting/pulling the stain out of the foam: once you've been working on it awhile and it's pretty damp, put a fairly water-loaded sponge on it and let the water drench into the fabric and foam. Go to a car wash where they have strong vacuum's and while using that to pull the water + stain back out, have terry towels to catch/wipe the stain and water off the fabric surface. Maybe you have a shop vac that will work for this? Eventually this will get most of the stain out, just takes time and patience. Good scrubbing ;) bob
