Default GMPP coverage scope question

I bought a nice 2006 3LT new, late in 2007. Currently under GMPP MajorGuard for another year, which I purchased from one of our favorite dealers here. The Corvette has been driven gently, and taken care of well.

That said, the leather on my driver's seat has worn quite a bit - it's worn thin in two areas, and just cracked. It's a little disappointing in that in my GTO and Impala, both of which were cheaper, the leather has held up great. I'm reviewing my GMPP paperwork and terms, and trying to figure out whether repair/replacement of the leather on the seat would be in scope. I can't seem to find anything either way.

Does anybody have a comparable experience to share, or can anyone offer any guidance as to whether this repair falls within the scope of my MajorGuard coverage.

thanks!
Mark

Thanks! Guess my eye kept seeing carpet and moving on down the list, or "upholstery" just wasn't registering. While not what I wanted to hear, I did want to get the facts.

I will also say that the MajorGuard has more than paid for itself in mechanical repairs. While four figures up front seems like a lot, the way I thought of it was that adding a couple extra months of car payments has me covered for years - and for the full duration of the loan. To me, the peace of mind is a fair price.

best,
Mark
