Seat Side Bolster Wear

[Viper Wizard]

You have a 2001,it's covered under Warranty! Have it replaced.
I've replaced them before for the same wear!

Just my two cents - I religiously use leather conditioner on the seats - especially the driver's seat. I forget the brand I use off hand but you pour it in your hand and massage it into the leather. Then wait 15 minutes and buff it off with towels. Really moistens the seats and makes them soft.

I too have excessive wear from getting in and out.
Thanks Wizard!
I will try my local dealership in the spring!!!

Frank;

Though of course a good idea, unfortunately the wear area trainman is referring to is vinyl.

I had the area repaired as my dealer refused to fix a "wear" item. Cost $75.00 and looked great for another year. Time to repair again, this time having the area replaced with leather at about a $150.00 cost.

What if you plunk your rear down first, then swivel to the right as you pull your legs in? I had an older GTS owner tell me this when I first bought mine, and as a result after 16,000 miles I have very little wear in that area.

If your seat is pulled up close then it may be the seatbelt rubbing at it when you pull and release it.

It is easy to swap the drivers seat with the pasanger seat.
