Cloth seat wear
 

I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with wear on their cloth seats? I have a 2013 with 6600 miles on it, black cloth seats. The crisscross end mesh center section is fuzzing already! This is unacceptable wear in my view. Anyone else have this issue? I'm thinking I need to go to Nissan and ask them to do something about it. Any experience out there having done this?
Thanks,
Todd

This is why I got leather and not cloth, but with the millage that you have this should not be happening so soon unless you get off and on more than twice a day.

Same thing happened to mine only 5500 hundred miles, no way I'm getting seat covers.

someone has ants in his pants....

My car has around 1850 miles and I think my seats still look good as new. At first I would always just get in and I noticed I rub against the side bolsters. Now, I'm a bit more cautious in getting in and out.

Side note: My steering wheel is 'fuzzing' a bit. It's not that noticeable, but it's there.

My steering wheel has a nice "cut" in the top of it. It's hard to notice, but you can feel it, like something sharp ran across it. Kind of sucks, but oh well.

Hopefully my seats don't start wearing. I'm almost to 3,000mi.

I have noticed a small indentation on the door panel by the window where my elbow sits though. That's now bothering me to look at. :icon17:

That happened to both my Nissans, LOL


If you give it a week it comes back.

Worse comes to worse make the door squeak. I have had the door panels on both cars replaced for that

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

I had 4500 on mine and it looked dirty all the time. just had a set of black CatSkin leather installed, and it looks awesome. even smells better.

Katzkin FTW

ive got 25k, mine still look new?

i prefer cloth to leather as leather generally cracks and wrinkles horribly with age

I agree totally. I am at 40k and mine look pretty much like new.

I bought my z at 1960 miles and the seats were absolutely brand new condition. Since then now at 5700 have had seat covers.

I bought my car brand new in June of 2011, cloth interior. I've always been "OCD" about interior wear & tear, so I try to get in and out of the car as gently as possible. That being said, I still have managed to create a very tiny amount of wear on the outer edge of the left side of my driver seat as time goes on. It's just about impossible to avoid so I don't let it bother me too much. Plus, it's a seat; easy to just replace when the time comes. I'm more upset about the scratch on the bottom of my steering wheel. :(

time for Brides

Let's see how unacceptable the wear is...can you post pics?

Not to resurrect an old post, but I'd be interested in anyone's experiences with premature wearing of the cloth seats.

In shopping for a 370Z, I just saw a 2017 with only 6k miles - and the stitching on the mid part of the driver's seat (the diagonal stitch) was completely worn way for about 3-4 inches. It looks like the result of the driver sliding into and out of the seat. Other parts of the drivers seat also showed noticeable wear and were thin.

I expect any seat material to wear, but, to completely wear away stitching after 6k miles? Has anyone else seen or experienced anything similar to this?

Thank you!

Prob a fat@$$ sliding in/out of the seat. Heavy friction will cause abnormal wear.

it's hard to keep seats looking new but care can be taken to cut down wear. this goes for cloth and leather. of all the cars i've own my bww 330xi with leatherette was the best wearing. basically it's fake leather but does look like the real deal. after 75k miles they still looked brand new. maybe nissan should offer this option.

I agree. I had a Bimmer with leatherette and after 10 years it looked brand new. That said, I don't like leather of any ilk. I much prefer cloth seats. Don't slide around. My Z is a 2010 and the cloth seats show very little wear. I only weigh 135 lbs so maybe that has something to do with it.

20k on mine, and I'm 6' 200lbs. They look like new.

Can always just replace the covers with OEM or something nicer.

Pictures please!

I can collaborate the OP's experience, I've seen the azz-part of the cloth 2017 seats get "fuzzy" … like where your right butt cheek pocket is & as if you carry a thick wallet. The material "wears" and becomes "fuzzy". In my case, I just took portable fuzz remover (a real thing) and shaved the material back down & all is golden.
