oskar27 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I’m looking at the option of having perforated leather trimmed seats for my future 2015 Edge Titanium and I wonder what your experience with this kind of seats is. My opinion is that a smooth leather will hold much better than perf’d leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Never heard of any problems with the perforated leather seats. They've been around for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab2g Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I’m looking at the option of having perforated leather trimmed seats for my future 2015 Edge Titanium and I wonder what your experience with this kind of seats is. My opinion is that a smooth leather will hold much better than perf’d leather. My car is almost 5 years old and I have perforated leather. There are no issues with stretching or tearing around the perforation. I also do not notice collection of dust/grime in the holes either. The holes are so tiny.

oskar27 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Glad to hear that, I was afraid that more dust/grime etc. will collect in the perforations Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) My wife's '09 MKS has perforated seats, along with my '12 MKX. Hers are starting to split where the perforated part of the seat meets the solid section. Going to have this seat portion re-skinned. I do keep the seats clean and treated, and the car is garaged year round. Maybe we just got a bad portion of leather, I don't know. Lincoln puts in the bridge-of-weir leather, maybe it's TOO SOFT ! My '06 Explorer had perforated leather, and til today, it still looks good, the shop forman at our dealership bought it, so I occasionally get to see it.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Do the MKS seats have inserts (microsuede) like the SHO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yes, the inserts are microsuede, and that's where it's splitting, and also in a seam by the regular leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm just curious. Are the seats perforated because they are cooled also, or are they just perforated? Only time I have ever had perforated was when the seats were cooled. This was on GM vehicles, never had cooled seats yet in a Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I saw perforated seats in a Contour SVT long time ago, but no heated/cooled option. Beautiful in Midnight Blue. Edited March 21, 2015 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar27 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 The perf’d seats are in option 301A, $1,300CAD, which also includes "Heated / Cooled front and rear seats, BLIS, heated steering, auto dim exterior driver side mirror and 110VAC outlet. I’m only interested in the BLIS system from this package because the Titanium standard package 300A only has the exterior mirrors with the integrated blind spot mirrors which I don’t like. But from the picture provided in post 9, I don’t like the perf’d seats either so most likely I will keep my $1,300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskar27 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 The Technology Pkg was available on my 2013 Edge Ltd and I took it however this package, according to the 2015 sales brocure, is not available anymore on the 2015 Titanium. On this brocure page 10 of 12 Titanium std equipment group 300A, the only available options are equipment group 301A + 302A plus some accessories. 301A has what I described above and 302A has some driving assist technologies and HID headlamps etc. Its strange Ford left out the technology package on the 2015 models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always refer to the official Order Guide to see what options are available with each trim package. The Order Guide can be found in another thread on the site.
