I have had several corvettes, I am 5'2", only weigh 115# and do not have a large a$$. I do know how to enter a low slung car.
3 years or 36,000 miles. I am below the 36,000 miles since I purchased my car in January 2012.
What do you mean I am double the warranty period?
Why do I feel screwed?

Warranties are usually x years or xxx miles, whichever comes first.

I don't know that you should feel screwed, the car is five years old. No, it shouldn't happen, but were it me I would just bite the proverbial bullet and get it fixed by an upholstery shop.

So if you have your dealer do the work for $2000.00 and deduct the $600.00 GM is giving you, you will be out of pocket $1400.00.

If you take it to the upholstery shop that gave you a quote, you will be out of pocket less than $500.00 and get your car back in one day.
Seems like a pretty simple decision to me.
