I have a feeling they will just order a replacement, not worried about it since I just got the car and it was built in January

this happened to me too. i was gripping the wheel too hard during autocross on a hot summer day, and the leather started to strip. subaru replaced it under warranty. actually, the dealer was happy to do it. i think they make money off of SoA when they do warranty repair

Can anyone help me out and post a picture of the BACK of their steering wheel, at 9 and 3? I'm trying to show Toyota this isn't normal.

Do they not have another FR-S on the lot?

Here you go:



22841 miles, bought October 2012 and probably a dozen or more AutoXs under its belt.
