spoke to infinit a few days ago, told them when i brought my car in a while ago about the tear they told me it was a ware and tear item so nothing they can do, but after giving them the tsb number they said who ever said that shoudn't have and that this thursday they will replace all damaged parts contributing to the tear

sweet!

 

why did they agree to change both ?

 

If someone with an 03 per chance switched seats with someone under warranty would they replace it? Is it the same seat?

 

mine are cracked as well... anyone find anything out about this?

 

I think we're out of luck..if I recall correctly..only 03-05 seats are the same, then there is a variation for the newer ones. But every interesting question; mine, finally got the same tear.

 

I went to the dealership and asked if they could fix it for me and they played dumb. I am waiting on a reply from a higher authority in the company. If you complain enough you eventually get what you want. The service people at my dealship just say no on ever has that problem when I know 3 people all with the same problem.

 

bump - just found this thread. I have an 04 model and had that issue since the day I got it (2006). Was told its 'wear and tear' issue but looks like it was a big BS and everyone is having same issue.

I still have extended warranty in play - do you think it's worth the effort to try again?
Thanks!

 

Yes, is worth the effort to try to get it fix. The dealership quoted me $1500 to get repair by them. I can get both my seats reupholstery and door panels for less by a local upholstery shop, which I plan on doing in a few months. Good luck

 

I have a 2006 Infiniti G35 and I had purchased the extended warranty in 2009, so I am still covered. The dealership said if it's a wear and tear issue they won't cover it and was wondering if you had any luck with your extended warranty covering this TSB.

PS. The extended warranty doesn't cover upholstery, but seems like it would be covered in this case since it was caused by a mechanical defect.

 

Thread revival!

Just bought a 2006 Coupe with 26,500 miles. The seat is not yet ripped, but I can see the micro-tears starting.

Here for convenience is a link to the TSB cited earlier in the thread: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...49760088,d.eWE

Has anyone tried to make the frame modifications (filing down the offending plastic seat frame pieces) as a DIY? The TSB is not entirely clear to me, even when comparing with the FSM. Can you just remove the front and side seat cushion finishers and get the seat cushion off, or does it require the complete removal of the seat from the rails and then follow FSM seat cushion removal instructions in order to get to the plastic frame pieces? I'm kind of thinking that it is the latter, but thought I would ask here before I start in on major surgery.

Then of course I will have to source the clips to replace the side seat finisher....
