I notice it too (about 12k on mine), but I thought it was just supposed to be like that? I thought the fabric kept stuff from falling in between the seats. I don't think it becomes obvious until you move the chair around a lot (to let people in the back and such)

Anyone have a tC where you don't see it? Maybe next time I get an Oil change, I'll wander around the lot and see if I can see it in the new ones.

the seat fabric started coming loose around the unersides of the headrest plastic rests - we took it back along w/the fact that the 'D' indicator on the dash flickers (which they didnt fix) and the glass repair - they fixed the seat for free/warranty

there is extra over there to cover up the wiring for the seatbelt sensor.. i looked at it and yeah it's a tacked on job to cover it up.. if you're just talking the extra fabric, we all have that..

but if the seat cushion itself with the fabric isn't tight anymore, then that's warranty..

if you took it to your dealer they'd probably tell you they're all like that.. and well.. they are

AT 18K and all I notice is where water drops from opening the door have faded the fabric........

I"d complain to have that warrantied if I were you. Not wear and tear at 8K.
