The seems were fine in my XB after 18K miles. There was one little frey on the passenger seat where it looks like a button or something sharp got caught, then pulled up from the seat.
Nothing major, just annoying. The overall shape held up very well.

I did drop off my xB today for seat cover/foam replacement so i'll see how it looks whent its all done.
i got the car 9/22/04 ... but like i said before i like to slide on my seat so it might have got loose because of that.
and guess what? as a rental/swap they gave me COROLLA! wow, i never knew that this car is THAT small!! How glad am i to have xB

Wow, now i see that several people are having the same issue i brought up last Oct. In my box, the drivers side seat bottom looked like a speed bump was installed after i got out of it. Im a big guy, ( 6'2" @225#s ) but common, im not that big. Long story short, i brought it to the dealer last year, and was deneyed any way of fixing it. With all that was going on over the past few months, i just let it go. One day, out of the blue, Scion Corp. called about a questioniare i filled out when i bought the box, and complained about the suspension being too stiff. I told then about the seat, so the regional guy looked at it last Tues. What he had the dealer do is to undo the HOG RINGS on the underside of the seat, and restretch the fabric. It looks better now, but well see what it looks like in the future. I did notice that if it was hot out, or if i sat in the seat for an extended period of time, the "speed bump" would be more pronounced. Like i said, well see. The regional guy said that there isnt much more he can do, including replacing the seat. For his sake, i hope so. Otherwise, ill have to talk to his boss personally.
I never understood why we ( Scion owners ) have to "deal"with the little problems like the seats, or the floor mats. Hopefully Scion Corp. isnt slacking when it comes to customer satisfaction. Hopefully.

the general shape of my seats are still great after 22k in 9 months, and i'm 6'4" 260. the only problem i ran into is the corners of the pockets on my favorite pair of shorts was a little too abrasive for the soft delicate cloth on the center sections of the seats and really made the fabric quite fuzzy and frayed on 1 3x3" section.
