C7 Seat Back Problems
This is the 2nd time in 5 months I've had to have my driver's seat back replaced under warranty on my '14 roadster. The upholstery about 3/4 of the way down has pulled out away from the seat hard shell back and is gaping open. Dealer says only way to fix it is to replace it with a new one. It appears the only thing holding it is a bead that is tucked behind the edge of the shell, with no staples or anything else holding it in place.
I'm a heavy guy but not putting any undue stress on the seat when entering or exiting due to pushing back against it but I suspect that is the cause. I've never had that problem on any other car in 55 years of driving.
Has anyone else had a problem of this nature? My warranty expires in 11 months and it's gonna be expensive when it's not there to pick up the cost if it keeps happening.

Damnedest thing I've seen w/ C7.
Not much choice then to have it replaced a 3rd time, hope it's the charm.
I'd share your same concern with regard to this happening OOW.
That ain't right.
