where did you have it done at? DIY or Stealership?

 

Same problem here, Going back to the dealer for the first oil change and seat repair. Mine is pulling from the same location too. I noticed it in the first week that i had the car.

Cheers!!

 

LIke its been said.... WELL known problem lol. Its not just the GSR's though as some of the Leather Recaros also have the issue.

My dealer was stupid and just re-stapled it. Looks like **** so im gonna pull off the belt loops and use some gorilla glue on the fabric.

 

They just pull apart. Dont use gorrila glue! All you need to do is pull apart the plastic pieces. Restretch the fabric and angle the staple away from the front. I used a little hot glue just to make sure. No problem last few months.

 

Yeah I need to get it taken care of as soon as possible I don't want it to get any worse!!

 

Can you elaborate on how to get the plastic pieces off the seat? Do they just pull apart or are there clips somewhere? What tool did you use to get them apart?

I want to fix my seats myself because taking it to the dealer is such an inconvinience.

 

Dealership fixed mine immediately....no questions asked.

 

Same issue on mine. I pulled the staples out and tucked the fabric. It looks fine for now but it will be an issue again in the future I'm sure.

 

Dealership sent someone to my house as a warranty fix

 

Really? I'm going to go check on mine right now!

 

just pinch the fabric under th pass throughs and if is cut short and comes out easy then take it to the dealer!!!!

 

The cars that were on the showroom floor at my dealer did it!

 

Did they send it to an upolstery shop or did they replace them?

 

Mine has the same problem... oh well just another thing to add to the list for when I go to the dealership

 

IMO, going to the dealer or waiting weeks for a mitsu service rep for something that you could pay an Upholstery shop $20-$30 to fix is going to save you a lot of time.
