Suede interior option
If anyone has the suede interior option, would you be so kind to post a close up pic of the interior a-pillar and let me know if there are any seams on this piece or is it one piece of suede covering the panel.
Thanks
Thanks

No pic, but there is a small seam down near the windshield. It is barely perceptible. I don't think it would even show up in a photo.

Z. You made me go and look, and I could not find or feel any seam on either A pillar.
Where, exactly is this seam? Upper side, lower side?

I could only find the seam by gently rubbing my hand up and down the full length of the A pillar trim. There is a seam on both sides near the bottom. As I said, you can't see it, but I can feel it.

Thanks guys.
I have a C6 and had the A-pillars made in alcantara instead of the vinyl/pleather that was there. The manufacturer made my C6 panels in two pieces here's the pic:
Here is the C7 piece where the corresponding C6 seam is:
The vendor is going to remake the piece for me as one but his contention is without that seam there is a higher probability of bubbling along that vertical radius but the OEM vinyl on the C6 and the suede option on the C7 appears to be one piece without problem assuming the proper glue is used and applied correctly.
And it is not a butt seam but actually overlaps so there is a seam and ridge which you can see in my pieces pic to the left of the seam.
