Should warranty cover my seat?

While I was detailing the car this weekend I noticed some things wrong with my drivers seat. Peeling & discolored leather. Wondering if the warranty will cover this. I noticed some wear when I bought the car, I figured I'd see how it went. Now it really is wearing. I'm not a lightweight though, so I think the dealer will try to say it's normal. What do you guys think?

I would say it depends on the dealer. Technically the seat is a "wear and tear" item, but I have read of people having there seat covers replaced underwarrenty.

Depends on the dealership, but I think if it gets really bad, they should replace it. I know a lot of people complained a while ago when the white crap from inside the seats started coming through the holes on the seat.

I had my seat cover replaced, but only because it had a tear in it. If it's just worn down, I doubt they will replace it.

Got back from the dealer. They will replace it. It's being ordered today. I'm shocked how easy they said yes. I showed the guy, he was like "yeah ok". Took my info down & on my way I went. I was there 5 minutes.

Mine is wearing similar to yours....but I don't think they are going to warranty that. If you ask, let us know what they say!

I was at the dealer all morning yesterday. They replaced the back cover(under warranty). I went ahead & spend my $$ & ordered the bottom cover & paid the 1 hour labor to replace that as well, so I would have a matching seat.

Total to me was just under $400.

I use the memory seat settings so that when I unlock and open the door the seat automatically slides back before I get in, avoids a lot of wear on the bolster sliding into the seat.
