MS3 Sport Seats...cloth stretching?

Just wanted to see what kind of condition everyone's seats are in. I have had this car for less than a year and noticed that I have already developed loose fabric on the seat bottoms, mainly on the sides. Seems like either the fabric or foam has changed awfully quick for such a new car. Will post pics later today. Anyone else having similar results?

pics, as promised. Just haven't had seats develop these sort of wrinkles so early on... anyone with another ms3 sport chime in?

Granted a completely different car, but my 6i fabric was horrible on my car. My seats looked like yours. You woulda thought that I had 100k+ miles on it the way the fabric looked after 30k miles. Eventually, the seat foam popped off the frame on the side bolsters, and the metal rubbed a hole through the fabric. The entire seatback had to be replaced under warranty.

yeah, I can't honestly see these seats lasting more than 60K. Considering this is about 8K miles. May go talk to Clark, hes been a good guy so far.

My drivers side looks identical to yours and I only have 7K on my car. I should also note that I am extremely careful when getting in and out of my car. I pay close attention to where I put my leg to avoid putting extra stress in that spot. Does anyone know if the dealer will take care of this? I am actually pretty pissed about it because I am super anal.....

I have a MS6, I am seeing the same thing. I bought the car brand new, 2 1/2 years ago and it has not gotten worse then what you guys are mentioning. just some crinkles from getting in and out all the time. I agree it should not show this early......

I'm not a fan of leather in most cases. Just not for me i guess.

Leather's okay, but still stretches and rips just like cloth. The first time I got into the MS3 I asked myself how long until the side panel craps out.... I had the same exact problem with my leather seats before the MS3. The driver's side left panel stretched until it tore. I went and had it replaced- it didn't take much longer until it happened again
