Who has had a radian cover fade? How bad? What cover? Have you talked to sunshine kids about it?

Click to expand...

didn't know it was a possibility... Only had it 3 months, no fading, windows are tinted fairly dark tho. I've got the grey 65.

I've had the SuperCool for over a year now and no fading from what I see except for some fraying and that warning label on the seat is pretty much detached now. I just attribute it to normal wear and tear.
We also have the Monaco (a few months younger than our SuperCool) and it hasn't faded either but we rarely use it as it's the one in my DH's vehicle which we only use if we're carrying big loads.

Our Princess cover is a bit faded, in the bum area...not really sure why...maybe dd is wiggling the pattern off? LOL. But, no, I haven't talked to SKJP about it...maybe I should.

We have a granite65 with bad cover fade. It's truly ugly. But, we've had it for 2+ years, and for the first 6 mos of it's life, it sat in direct sun in our vehicle(we have one with tinted windows now). I don't mind as it's a secondary seat installed in a car that is much, much uglier than the cover itself.

I am wondering if it is just the granite65 ones that fade. I have both of mine outboard in my civic with no tint and both of the covers on the window side are now fading to a lovely brown colour YUCK. I have only had them for about a year and only in this car since Nov, before they were in a tinted caravan. I am not happy

We have a Granite cover with BAD fading. I didn't realise how bad it was until I compared it to the replacement they sent me. The black is an almost brown/grey colour now and not related to the fading but my airbag warning is fraying. I don't see how the cover could last the lifespan of the seat without replacement

Here's the colour difference

If your cover is faded I would definitely contact SK. I emailed Russ and he sent me a replacement cover.

I have all four of the Radain65 covers(the Grey is in a closet though) no fading that I can tell. Course they have spent most of their life in cars with tinted windows.

Mine was in mint condition when I loaned it to a neighbour (it sat in the middle of the middle row in my tinted window van). It sat in the middle rear of his car in direct sunlight for less than a year, and I just got it back from him in EXTREMELY faded condition. It looks horrible ugly and brown..... Maybe I will email Russ as well, that was a pretty short time period for that much fading to occur.

No I haven't contacted SKJP yet though I do plan on doing it this week. I am really starting to get sick of looking at that cover.

our champagne color isn't faded that I can tell... but we have very dark windows on both vehicles, but especially dh's, where it is installed, so maybe that is why??

my champagne cover has faded. I didn't notice until I put it next to my nephew's new radian.
