2015 Leather is Paper Thin

[Budwise]

I just noticed on my 2015 Premium that I have 2 little punctures in my seat already just from getting in and out with jeans on. You know how most jeans have little metal rivets on them? Well DONT wear them with this car. The leather is so pathetic that jeans will tear them up. 2 Years with my 2013 Mustang and I never had this issue, but the 2015 Leather is just a joke...

Crap! That's no Bueno, Ford!

Ouch! It definitely needs to wear well. I was actually concerned about this with the nicer but, likely, less durable leather. That was my guess anyway. We'll see what they look like after a few years.

Based on the white showing through at the puncture I'm thinking that's pleather we're looking at.

I'm not trying to start an argument really I'm not. But how in the hell did you poke holes in the upper sides of the seats. It's not like that's where you sit....... So not so sure that's from this rounded edge rivet.

 

[Budwise]

It's from getting in and out and sliding out across the seat. Narrow parking garage means I have to slide out as I can only open the door so far.

When he was getting out of the car I guess.

I'm not thrilled with the Recaros in the SVTP EcoBoost car.

Do tell Sid!

 

[SVTORANGE]

That does suck

That does suck

We picked up a GT Premium Auto this weekend, and yes, Ford has some quality control issues with these seats.

 

[Budwise]

Well i went in and made a claim but they said they dont think Ford will cover it. They said they've seen the same thing with brand new F150's and everything. They tell people they have to be careful with jeans. I must say, that's some pretty terrible quality.

Luckily I paid a little extra in the finance department for a ResistAll treatment and extended interior warranty coverage so I think that will cover it no matter what happened. I guess we'll see. I still think its pretty poor of Ford to use such thin materials.

No doubt!

That sucks to spend that kind of money and have that type issue already

I dont care for the Recaro's and loved the Leather seats. This past weekend a drove a cloth seat one and it actually held me in the seat better then the other ones. To bad they dont offer AC seats in cloth LOL

when you have cloth you dont need the ac seats...theyre cooler in the summer and warmer inn the winter....i would rather have cloth but like all the other options with the premium....

 

[SteveG@Lethal]

I understand that. Was meant to be a funny comment.

And being warmer in the winter is not true. LOL

Do tell Sid!

I'll be posting several threads soon.

That part of the seat is pleather or some type of vinyl...

 

[blackbeast12]

The leather on stock mustang seats is in the center of the seat top and bottom, the sides are cheap vinyl. Its why i replaced my vinyl/ leather seats with %100 katskin leather...I'm not surprised where those marks are!

 

[Budwise]

Well, its repaired and it does look much better. You dont really notice it unless the light hits it. The technician looked like James May except he was French and he took a lot of time and effort and even did a coating on the whole area to make the vinyl a little stronger. He was surprised to see it puncture so easily too. Anyway, I guess I have to throw away my jeans and find some without rivets...
