I had the same problem but what I did was to re tuck the sides of the material where it meets the plasctic backing. It come loose from the hard cornering and just has to be re tucked. It is attaches kinda like a hook and you just push it in till it catches again. I hope this helps

Both my seats are the same way. However I didn't really notice it until you guys mentioned it.

Some people have had the same problem and most got it fixed under warantee. I wonder if it has to do with the fabric ever coming lose from the plastic backing. A long time ago, some of the fabric slipped out from the plastic backing, so i just simply re-tucked it, and now I have this problem. Im not complaining, (not a big deal) but could the two be related?

LOLOLOLOL ,,,, Mitsu called me back middle of last week and said they are working on it and they would get back to me. As of yet no-one has called. Looks like i will be calling again on monday. Its not a big deal, but it just pisses me off that you pay 30k and within a yr has paint issues and seat issues. Whats next ??? I wouldnt bother moving the thread 90% of evo owners live in northeast ... Could it get any colder ?????????????
