I dont think the seats are under warranty, but i do remember someone posting before how their steering wheel was worn and the dealer replaced it for them under warranty. So its worth a try to find another dealer or ask another service guy.

Talk to the service manager.

I really doubt they will will replace the leather cover, they might touch it up though.

Yes, i had the dealer install a new steering wheel. Basically, i told them that the car was only 3 years old with cracked leather/faded leather on the steering wheel. It was covered under warranty.

The driver's seat bolster on my 03 started to crack when the car was 13 months old and had about 14K miles on it. It took me two trips to the dealer and some hell raising, but, the seat back got replaced under warranty.

DAMN! they look sick. The headrest looks real good too. How much extra you have to pay for those when you got the car?

I'll tell ya'll a little story, but after a day I'll delete it because I don't want all future readers to know my business, but a couple of months ago, my wife and I went to the beach, and unfortunately her monthly came while we were in the water. After we dried off and everything, some of the blood got on her towel and consequently on my seat. (Don't ask how we missed the red) However, the seats were red for like a week, and I spent everyday scrubbing the seat trying to get the stain out. Gladly, it came off, but if I had bucks seats, I probably wouldn't have had to worry about it too much! HAHA! Enjoy as I'll probably delete this tonight or tomorrow!
