Default 2004 c-70 issues

Hi, names Joe, recently purchased a used '04 c-70 LT convertible with only 59k miles. Few issues with it, The passenger side view mirror glass is cracked, I can't seem to find a reliable place to get the model number/purchase it. Also, my leather seats seem to be absorbing the color from my clothing... My tan color leather seats are now turning greyish/blackish, any tips on what to use to clean, and how to prevent this from further happening? I had used some leather cleaner I had, but that didn't seem to prevent or clean it very well.

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.

Dealer can get you a new glass for your mirror. Sounds like the interior hasn't been kept up. Get a bottle of Krud Kutter. I buy it in 1 gal jug & fill sprayer. Working a small area at a time spray & wipe down using clear water in bucket. You can't rinse it out enough! This will really clean the leather. Next pick your favorite leather cleaner from auto store, I use McQuires. Apply the leather cleaner generously. Next apply leather conditioner generously! Notice I DID NOT mention using leather cleaner/conditioner combination! There are several good leather conditioners with the right minerals to really make your leather look almost brand new! Tanner is one. This is an all day job! do it right you will love it! Do it quick, disaster! Mark a week later, apply conditioner again. All 5 of my vehicles have leather interior. My 1998 C70 interior looks showroom fresh, no cracks, stains etc. Good luck!

In some instances the seats are actually LOSING the color. Its rubbing off with just a towel... I may have to just see about a replacement seat the passenger and rear seats are still ok and i'll start taking care of them. Wish I knew what was going on. Also wish I knew what the previous owner did the cause this...
