Depends on what year the car is. Anything older than 2012 I think that is common. My 07 felt like only the leather was covering that part. Also it is very easy to scuff, especially people who wear phones on their belt. The new seats in the 2012 was suppose to fix that. My 13 is good.

Had the same problem. I unzipped the seat back and worked my way around to add a piece of flexible plastic at that point. It was starting to wear through so best to catch it early.

Thanks for reply I can't find a zipper anywhere on seat back does have a slot I can get my hand in but I don't see any way to get that far up without taking seat out which is what I may have to do
