How many miles?anyone have this problem? while getting into the car everytime, it seems I always scrap this area of the seat and now the leather is gone.
11,000 km.How many miles?
starting to happen on ours but not quite as bad maybe 75% of that much and with 20,000kms now.11,000 km.
I agree. Of course you people hit it...its a bolster! Look at the crease wear. How much you 'hit' it depends on your weight. There are ways of entering and exiting your car while minimizing bolster wear.Everyone saying they rarely hit that spot, the reason it's doing that is from rubbing on it. So you may be hitting it more than you think.
My back/ass isn’t numb. I know if I’m hitting the bolster and if I do, I’m not sliding down into my seat on that part of the bolster. Saying that as an excuse defending the crap material used in that area is dumb because that isn’t something that should be happening with so few miles.I agree.

It is crap material, but it doesn't exactly do that on it's own.My back/ass isn’t numb. I know if I’m hitting the bolster and if I do, I’m not sliding down into my seat on that part of the bolster. Saying that as an excuse defending the crap material used in that area is dumb because that isn’t something that should be happening with so few miles.
its pretty much impossible to not rub on the bolster when trying to get into the seat. I set my seat to the lowest position. well ya, that's somewhat what I m saying, 11,000km and the leather is gone. meh.My back/ass isn’t numb.

Obviously a bolster is a high contact area. However I can physically show anyone how I get in and out of my car and it’ll show that I rarely touch that particular spot. The rest of the bolster, obviously. And being an inexpensive car isn’t an excuse for this to happen with only 6500 miles. Sorry, that’s just a bullshit cop out. You may be okay with it, but I for one would like the car to look good well on through 100k miles and if my seat is already starting to look like this, I have little hope for how it’ll look in 6-7 yearsIt's a relatively inexpensive car (for what you get), I don't know what people don't understand about this... and it doesn't wear like that magically all by itself, if it's wearing it's because you rub it getting in and out of the car, simples. I mean it's a decent bolster it sticks out.
"but I'm not rubbing that spot!!" - Yes you are.
the fake leather sofa at my home start cracking after 5 years of usage and not a single spot was rubbed off...A spot like that doesn't appear on it's own or by 'rarely touching it'.
Just sayin'.
