Wow so this is widespread. I've seen the staples on one X so far.

the fix is actualy pretty easy for this, definately not worth the down time by taking it to the dealership. just pop off the plastic pieces at the top of the seat (they spread apart) take some gorilla glue and reglue the pieces that are folded and look bad, then pull the fabric real tight and staple it into the foam. its a way easy fix that takes about 10min for both seats. between the new staples and gorilla glue, the fabric stays like it should have from the factory.

I saw those too they look nice...

I don't think Mitsubishi's target is an older audience, however the recaro's do seem sub-par and so does the recaro baby seat I have for my daughter! All in all, I won't point the finger at Mitsubishi, however I do question recaro's quality control!

Anyone has any issues with chaffing on the leather Recaros then ?? Typically around the side bolster area near the waist and seatbelt area ?? Noticed this on a few almost new cars now .. ???

my dealer looked at my seat and they are contacting mitsu and figuring out if they replace the seat or just send it to a repair shop.
