Default Seat Stiching - Cloth Interior

Anyone else seen this.

I have a 09 TRX Crew with the Premium cloth interior.

I was just looking closely at it yesterday, and if you pull down on the fabric where the stitching is, it almost looks as if it might pull apart in a few years?

By no means am I qualified to review seams, but take a peek at yours, tell me if I'm just looking at something that's not an issue, or if in fact the stitching for the seats is not as good as we think.

I've thought about that issue and contemplated purchasing a set of replacement covers from sellers on eBay that replaced theirs with leather when relatively new

Default seat issue

I have a 09 with the same seats as yours and mine has already ripped. (21000 miles) Mine ripped where the seat goes behind the plastic on the side. The bottom part of your picture. The cloth is actually hanging down close the seat controls now. Dodge wants me to go to a local place in town to get the seat restitched. They said it would involve removing the entire seat. Everythings covered under warranty so we'll see.

I had the bottom of our Avenger replaced, it looks very similar to those seats, 2 years old and 35000km was warranty.

Do you have the side step bars on the trucks that look like they are about to rip? I have the steps and it helps to get up onto the seats without stressing them as much. But agreed the seats seem to have some issues. The dealer even checked them out while I was there. Now why would they do that if they didn't think something was wrong with them....Hmmmm.....?

Maybe a recall coming for the cloth seats as well?
