Seats?

[labstaR]

Hi all
My 18 month old Gen 2 997 is starting to look a little worn on the black sports seats. Its a daily drive and the white stitching on the drivers side as you get in is getting thinner/frayed. My previous car had leather sports seats in stunning nick after 30k with the same maintenance.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Would the manufacturers warranty cover it? If its fraying, I would say that is unacceptable wear. My 5 year old Laguna seat stitching is fine!

Take it in and get it looked at. My car is coming up to 3 years with no scuffs frays and the white stitching is still perfect

The stitching is in exactly the right place to be worn quickly and I would suggest it depends on how you enter and exit the car/seats.

Any car with a good bolster will wear given time and it will depend on your own body/entry exit etc.

You can try the OPC route, but I fear they'll suggest FW&T.

There are specialist seat repairers around who will be able to help and refresh your seats for not much money.

I always push my seat as far back as it will go before leaving my car which means that I am able to exit the car without scuffing the bolster as I get out.

Seems to work for me as I have hardly any bolster marking after 24000mls.

I did have look around a few used ones at my local OPC. One in the showroom 3 years old about 25k
was awful looked like 10mm of hair that needed a trim. Guess if thats acceptable for retail then its just normal wear.
