The rear interior of my 78 seems to be tacky to the touch, and regardless of how I clean it, the tacky feeling stays.  Depending on what cleaner I use, there sometimes is a black residue on the cloth, but the tacky feeling still remains....

Also, a friend of mine's 77 white interior has pitted and has the same tacky feeling....

any ideas?

 

Mine is the same way. No matter what I clean it with, the tackiness remains. I hope someone on here has some suggestions.

Put shag carpeting in it. Then it will really be tacky!    

I think this has to do with a build-up of funky crap over the years, combined with the plastics/vinyls used way back then. Add to this the chemicals in the cleaners...can you say "melt-down"? This is exactly why I hate to leave the '74 out in the sun for very long. Like me, it is old, and "tacky".

I don't know how to solve the issue, other than replace all of the stuff, or live with it... Adams' Apple38934.6802546296

I thought that it twas supposed to be tacky. That way ya stuck to da seat at high speed...
Naw, Mine was like that and I used a leather cleaner on it (can't recall now which one) and then Armour All them up.
Course it didn't matter much cuse I covered them with Corvette cloth seat covers from Mid America. I got tiered of the black burning me each time I got in and then sweating on them as I drove down the road.

Try cleaning it with some rubbing alcohol (while drinking a beer, so you can get a little alcohol too).  Then, go over it with Armour All.

Yeah, like Greypoupon69, I used alcohol, only I used dentured alcohol.  Left lots of black color on the rag!  I let that dry and I can't remember if the tackiness went away instantly or if it took a couple of days, but I also applied some leather/vinyl conditioner after it dried and I haven't noticed the tackines since.
