Default Cloth seat cover replacement?

Who here has had their cloth seat covers replaced due to fraying or premature wear? Has Nissan released a TSB for this? I only have 6000 miles on my car and both outside seat bolsters are fraying....I want to bring my car in to the dealership to have them look at it but would like to do go there with all my ducks in a row....also has Nissan released a TSB for the drivers side seat rocking/clicking? Thanks in advance for any replies....Mark.

pilling? Do you mean as in stripping the seats? I can't seem to get the search function to work....Thanks for the reply.

I had it done, the new material was much coarser than the original and didn't feel good. I later had them replaced with leather

I have had my drivers seat skin bottom done once and the seat back skin twice and will probably be doing it again before warranty over and them get the Nismo seats, kind of wish Nissan would at least give me a dicount on the leather skins. I have also had the seat bottom part changed because of the seat rocking on cornering WTF

Mine are pilling as well. I'll see if I can get 'em fixed under warranty, then maybe get the neoprene covers.

Anyone interested in a group buy?

Default Drivers L bolster leather scratches

I have just recently noticed that the side bolster by the window is all scratched up and torn . I don't wear a belt or anything with rivets in the back but I did start wearing a fanny pack instead of carrying a purse and I think that with having to lower yourself into the car and sliding along the bolster the plastic clip on thge back of the belt must have been tearing into the leather. I have never had this problem in any other car. Anyone else have a problem with the leather being torn or scratched by contact woth belts or jean rivets? I wonder if this piling on the cloth seats is from the same type of contact getting in and out of car. Any ideas?

Check out the TSB, Nissan should replace these.

About the seat covers. I like them, albeit a tad expensive, but they are only for manual seats. That sucks, I'll be most people have power seats in the Z.
