Recently noticed a small tear on driver's seat - think the tear is on the left edge of the seat - think that part is vinyl not leather...any way to patch that bad boy up?

 

Same problem here, I think its leather.

I talked to my dealer about it and he said that if your car is still under the "wear and tear" part of my warranty (??) it should be replaced.

I read someone else's thread a while back stating that they had gotten it replaced for free from their dealer. Goto your dealer with these arguements .

All else fails, I'm sure an upholstery shop could repair it.

Good luck and happy driving
