Default Competition Seat Problem

I just came back from the dealership and was told that leather separating from the driver side, left booster, is somewhat common. They said this is the 4th or 5th instance they've seen in the last couple of weeks.

I have an appointment on Monday to find out if they will repair or replace the seat.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

I have the same issue...dealership is going to attempt to fix it at local upholstery shop. We'll see how that works out. They are also taking it to the body shop to have the rear deck lid (interior side) re-painted since it had drip marks in the paint from the factory. Kind of irritated that a $100k car has so many silly quality defects.
