Red stitching is coming loose. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The stitching on the drivers side seat is coming loose. I realize the seats will have some wear and tear over time just because of the protruding side bolsters but I've had the car for about 3 weeks. Is this covered under the warranty?

Looks like you might have snagged it pretty good with something on your jeans...a loose rivet?

I take extra care when getting in and out of my BRZ, even then its hard not to rub against the bolsters.

I might have. I'm usually very careful with getting in and out. I even slide the seat all the way back when exiting. Dammit! I still love this car though.

This is a little of topic but there were about 10 or more people surrounding the car taking pictures when I got out from watching Batman last night. The white color looks so good at night with the black rims.

I'd take it to the dealership. That's a bit more than one would expect from normal wear and tear.

@Chip - did you get it fixed?

Unfortunately, I HIGHLY doubt they will honor this under warranty. They will attempt to blame the cause on you unless you can prove otherwise.

Just ask, worse they can say is no. With the issues they have had with this car, I would be surprised if they say no to anything.
