Default Silly question about seat emblems

My wife has long hair, and I would like to know if any owners have had girlfriends ( if you are married, do not respond ) or wives that get their hair caught? I have read where coats and shirts have caught and broken them, so was wondering.
Thanks!

In order to answer this correctly, we must see pictures of said wife.

Early 2014 MY production had seat emblems that had a tendency to catch things. A minor change was made and now the emblems are somewhat recessed into the seat. I have not seen any reports of this in many months.

Between the heated and vented seat issues and these emblem problems, another good reason to get a 1LT!!!

My hair is fairly long, and I have not had any problem with the emblem.

I'm confused about the " if you are married, do not respond" part.

My hair has never caught in this.

I've caught it in the door, the seatbelt mechanism (worst offender), and the trunk, the hood once, but, nope, not even once in the crossed flag on the seat. My sunglasses regularly get caught (you'd think I would learn not to put them on my head).

NOT a real worry in my experience.

Alluding to the girlfriend riding with you, if you are married you should not admit to your girlfriend riding with.

gotta disagree - the emblem is one of the reasons I got a 2LT

Like another poster, I alternate between long-haired hippie and shorter haired hippie, and so far (knock-knock) have not had my hair get hung up in the emblem. Beat me to death with the roof off, yes, but no issue with the emblem

Is the crossed flag emblem the only emblem available for the seats?

Interesting tidbit of knowledge and another reason not to get an early production number of a new model.
