Great, if you don’t hear from them in 48 hours or let’s say by Monday give me a jingle back. The reason they are giving you a hard time is under warranty they are not supposed to repair. They will have to replace the whole back cover. It’s a bit pricey.

I am not downplaying your frustration, I am recommending that you balance the interests of everything involved. I am assuming you just waited a year or so for your car. Take it and enjoy it.

I had a similar very tiny tear on my C7 console leather after it went into a local shop. I used a tiny amount of fabric glue that dries clear and carefully put it under the flap and pressed it down. Could not see it the next day.

I have the car and im enjoying it. it isnt a daily driver but i do drive it.. i just think its not how a 80k car should be delivered. actually any new car shouldnt. I appreciate your opinion..If this was done by dealer after delivery or even me i wouldnt care at all but thats not the case.. thanks again

I had the same issue, just decided to live with it.... but yes, it is super annoying to have this issue on a brand new $80k+ car
