I love the seats in my X, but I gotta say that they seem a little cheap where the racing harness holes are. Those faux carbon things are really cheap feeling, and today I noticed that on my passenger side the fabric was sagging slightly around one of them, exposing a staple that apparently has come loose! I tucked it back in, and you can't see it anymore but if you pull on it it comes back out pretty easily. I wonder if I took it to the dealer if they would do anything about it. My guess is that whatever they would do I could do myself, i.e try to lift up that plastic piece and use a staple gun to try and resecure it, etc. Has anyone else had this happen? Doesn't really bother me THAT much, although it is a little disappointing. Oh well, I didn't buy the car for the interior, but it would be nice if mitsu could make sure that crap like this doesn't happen. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Thats what I would think. But Mitsu doesn't make the seat right? Mitsu buys them from Recaro? Unless Recaro ships them to Mitsu un-covered and Mitsu then wraps them in either cloth or leather. Or maybe they are Mitsu seats and Recaro just sold Mitsu the name to use?

So if you have the leather Recaro's then the leather was done by Recaro and not Mitsu? What about the back seats then? Does Recaro do them to or does Mitsu get the same leather Recaro is using for the front seats and then do the back seats themselves?

cheap seats
i have the same problem with my seats and for how much you pay for this car it should come with a really nice interior..even cheaper crappy cars have a better interior it doesnt take much to make it look that much better..it makes me feel like im driving a fast cardboard box
