Stock BRZ Limited Seats Wearing Quickly
Hey all,
Is anyone else experiencing very quick wear of the driver's side leather seat? The bolsters on the left side of the seat have a good amount of "wrinkles" in them after only 6600 or so miles on the car. Is this something I can claim a warranty on? I'm not a huge guy (200 lbs./ 6"1'), and I don't grab onto the seat to get out of the car. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance. |
I would think the seat is a "wear" item that would only be replaced if you got stabbed by a piece of metal breaking within it.. I have about 16K miles on my car and I'm also noticing some wear on the left leather bolster, but I don't think it's abnormal.

Depends on the severity of wear. Once you get some pictures up, you'll get a more educated response from the forum. Everyone will have some degree of wrinkling and lines on the bolsters but there are far too many variables to say warranty or not (at 6,600 miles I can't see them denying a claim though if they are as badly worn as you are saying).

I'll get pictures up during lunch, thank you all for your input. :)

Mine pulled apart at the stitching on the outside of the bolster. I understand that seats are a wear item, but it shouldn't be separating after only 22K miles. I got new seat covers under warranty.

Leather will tend to wrinkle quickly.
The way to reduce it is put conditioner on it weekly. Keep it out of direct sunlight too. I know this is not always possible but if your windows are not tinted, TINT THEM. Always put up a sun visor in your front windshield. |

I have the sane issue 6,300 miles on my seats from my frs monogram. Pisses me off i need to go the the dealership

Hmm maybe a pic of the wear would help.
My wifes Lexus RX350 with black leather seats has wrinkles in them on certain spots but nothing I would feel is bad enough to claim warranty. I'd like to see if my expectations are lower than yours for how leather seats should look and wear. |
I think those leather protector helps... I have some on mine too. But I think it's cuz my body is a bit wide for the Chair bolsters.
