are the "sports" seats in an sxi really crap quality. my car is only 7 months old and the drivers seat has a clearly visable mark on the right support of the seat from where i get in and out of the car? has ne 1 else noticed this prob and could i get it replaced under warranty?

how many miles have you done?
my drivers seat started squeeking everytime i got into it! was so annoying! i eventually got round to unclipping the back off and pulling out the cardboard (how cheap?! lol) and just sprayed abit of wd40 in the area it was coming from. its fine now

done about 7k now but surely the seats should last longer than that has ne 1 tried talkin to vauxhall about it? glad im not the ownly one, the metal support shows through creating a white line on the seat.
my girlfriend must not have such a hardwearing arse as me cos her side is fine!!

didnt make a scence. workshop foreman offered to do it when he took it out on a drive for the bearing. He said vauxhall wont like it but it aint on.
They dont replace the seat, just put new foam in. picking it up in half an hour so i will let you know if they have done a good job
