take it to a different dealer
show them the damage
ask them what they intend to do
you have to read the warranty to see what it covers Did you get somethng to read when you bought the car ? What you have been receiving as advice here are opinions what you need is to read the warranty materials
Some warranties do cover even normal wear and tear . . . they do that for competitive reasons. If you have read the warranty then you would know . . . the terms of the coverage . . . I have not read it because to date I have not needed it. don't accept laymen's opinions

Just as a further warning to those in bug infested areas, bug repellant also permanently stains leather. In the summer I alsways put a towel down on my leather just to be safe.

Thanks for the replies. I really posted this as a "heads up" so you don't make the same mistake. The damage is hardly noticible and as information the lotion was applied while I was lying on the beach, I don't put it on my legs just for a drive. Now, the top of my bald head is another matter.
Just seems unusual that a little suntan lotion would disolve the vinyl finish as I've never heard of that or seen it in anyother car I have owned.
