What up fellas, got my 07 a couple of weeks ago, I love this car, it has cloth seats and I prefer it that way, but on the driver seat the bolsters seem to have excessive wear for being 2 years old. I searched and only found 2003/2004 threads that mention a tsb for the 03 models. Nothing recent. Does anyone else have this issue with cloth seats on their 07/08 model, and have you been able to get this fixed under warranty? Any input highly appreciated....

 

My leather wore worse than that in six months.

 

Its from getting in and out and scraping ur *** against the bolster. Kinda seems like a wear and tear issue more then a defect. Couldn't hurt to try tho.

 

I got a 06 brand new and after just 2-3 months I started having the same problem...Invest in some seat covers.

 

yea i got that too. i leaned my seat up more so when you get out it kinda makes you move your *** around that part it sucked at first but it's not so bad once you get used to it. still gonna prolly do some nice seat covers tho before it gets any worse

 

I have the exact same problem in my 08'. Its from sliding in and out. Lots of butt friction. I'd invest in a nice set covers if most of them weren't ricey and cheap.

 

Mine are fine. I guess its cus I am not a big fat a$$.

 

+1, i have an 04 and it has much less wear on the bolster then the OP does. I do make it a point to not graze it when i get in a out of the Z.

 

Dood my leather on my 05' bolsters is FKeD from getting in and out...

This is the price u pay when you buy a sports car.

Are u fat?

 

Thanks for all the responses

No, I am not fat, just got the car 2 weeks ago, the prior owner must have been a fat a$$ though..........nontheless, even if your not fat I think the way the seat is designed you still gonna rub.....cloth seat on a $30k sports car shouldn't wear out that quick.....oh well, it's one con to so many pros on this car.....I'm still gonna try to get the dealership to fix it and I'll let you know how it goes.....

 

yeah, I think we all get that rubbing on the seat from in and out.
I've just change over to new leather at a great price. so far so great.
Time to go leather!

 

ive done this to just about every car ive owned. i dont take my time getting in, i just slide my *** right in there and plop down pretty quick. oh well.
