Yes, definitely a warranty issue.I own a company that repairs interiors for car dealers. We repair this kind of thing all day long. Most dealers we do work for will warranty this kind of problem and have it repaired whenever possible rather than replaced. I have the same interior as yours. When I picked my roadster up and was going through the orientation with sales person I noticed a 1/2 inch tear on my driver seat. The orange was coming through. Initially, since it was brand new I asked for a new seat cover. But after giving it some thought and knowing that by removing the seat in order to replace the leather cover I was potentially opening a larger can of worms. I've seen the damage some techs have wreaked on an interior while getting the seat out. So, I repaired it myself--came out absolutely perfect and charged the dealer for the repair, which he warrantied. I would not take no for an answer. With leather interiors you need to be real careful that nothing sharp is in your pockets or on your clothing like worn/broken rivets on jeans. You should also use a leather conditioner on all of the leather and even the vinyl services. This will add years to the leather. DO NOT USE ARMOR-ALL OR ANY OTHER SILICONE PRODUCTS. They serve no useful purpose on leather.

what is good to use on the leather? i was thinking of using mink oil it has lanolin and silicone in it. this stuff is mostly used on leather coats and purses.
