I've already paid to get my re-stiched & it's ripping again. Got a new seat cover for under $200 which is way cheaper then the $360 I paid to repair it. I'll post some pic's tomorrow.

Do you have a P/N that you used for the cover? I'm thinking of getting a spare for the future.

I owned a SHO in the past and had the same issue they don't seem to hold up as well as cloth whether it be creasing, stretching or "Dents" all around 50k miles

I have the same problem in that spot just noticed a few days ago. Was this covered under warranty? I have 300 miles until warranty runs out. I will be stopping by dealership today.

Gotta be just bad luck. I’ve spent 104K miles in the seat and weigh 290 lbs…seat still looks great.

Unfortunately the ripped factory seats is under the 3 year 36000 mile warranty. Not the 5 year 60000 mile warranty. Talked to Bobby Tasca in RI which is is a highly respected Ford dealership and racing enthusiast in our area. Going to have it restiched.

Nice to here from you Unbroken. Not sure if you have heard any feedback on another note about the K and N CAI. I will be installing this weekend and could give you some feedback.
