Noticed a rip starting on the seam of the upper back support. Anyone else have/had this problem?

leather repair kit will do

 

Kushp14,

You're going to need a vinyl repair kit. I don't think the non-seating surfaces on our cars are leather. Real leather doesn't tear clean like vinyl/leatherette, it creases then tears leaving slightly jagged edges. You have a very clean tear and the texture on the leatherette side is too uniform for real leather.

I think the quality of leather seats on the Gs are a C plus at best compared to other "luxury" makes.

Thanks for the reply. I am still under warranty so I will try the dealer first. Seems more like a defect than wear & tear.
