Default Drivers Seat

Getting out of the car tonight I saw the leather part of my drivers seat coming apart at the the seam about the left shoulder height. Are seats covered under warranty. The car just turned 11K miles and is an 04.

Thanks for any help.

Not positive, but you should be covered.

I had the same thing happen to my 99 FRC. I took it to a shop and they fixed it like new for $35.

I had my drivers seat halo replaced under warranty when the stitching started seperating in the bolster area.

Just as a hint, if they do replace it have them cover the bolster frame with indoor / outdoor carpet so it doesn't eventually poke through the cover like mine did. I believe the VE website shows the covering they send with their seats if you need a visual.

Step 23a and 23b
