definitely won't be covered under warranty....who was the last person that sat in ur car?? maybe a jacket or purse or something that scrapped against it when they got out....

it's like u trying to claim rock chips on ur front bumper...it's wear and tear, which isn't covered by warranty....sorry

I actually had some golf shorts on with velcro on the back pockets it did almost the same thing and it has happened over and over because you just forget what you are wearing.

Just one of those things you have to live with when you have soft luxury leather!

that is a passenger seat? looks like something ripped through it pretty well. you could give the dealership a try if you can't locate the origins of the problem

That's why I hate the stock leather seats. Sell them and get a pair of these, guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser!

a chick was the last person to sit on the passenger side and that was last night and she didnt have much on but a tight dress and a small pocket book bag, and the last person to sit there after that was over a week ago, im sure if it was that person i wouldve saw it during the week. thats why this is such a mystery to me right now

i purchased the leather protection package with my "G". something like this would be covered by warranty for me. Were you offered any such thing at POS.

don't think it'll be covered because it looks like this is ur "misuse". But no harm asking ur dealer.. you never know! Or get it replaced for the seat bubble.
