Seat cover wrinkles/Warranty issues...thoughts?

[GoldBeach]

I had same issue. Passenger seat fine, driver seat has wrinkles. Went to dealership (in December) and they supposedly ordered me a new seat. They said replacing the cover would not look right. Also ordered me a new driver door panel (they put a 37 blue panel in my 35 - should have been grey). I will try and call today and see if parts have arrived. View attachment 343514

I've got the same type of wrinkle in my driver's seat. I haven't had any luck getting the dealership I bought it from to do anything at all for my truck, so I need to take it to another dealership and see what they say about it.

According to my dealer, it’s not the cover but whatever clips it attaches it to that are broken and therefore all of it needs to be fixed/replaced (cover and clips).

I have the same winkle same spot. I know its a softer leather than the gen2 so some winkles are expected but that seems to be excessive. considering I only have 1500 miles on it that shouldn't be like that.

Got the same spots/marks on my driver seat.
‘initial inquiry to service department was nothing they could do.

truck has 500 miles on it. Wish I would have caught it on day 1

This is ********. I own a high-end leather company and this wouldn't be acceptable coming out of my shop. Not saying these are that expensive, looks like a downgrade from the gen 2 seats. Idk how they even ship these trucks looking like this.

Wonder if something was placed on the seats while waiting for chips. If a number of members have the same imperfection.

The response from the service manager is idiotic at best. Car upholstery shops do this kind of work by hand everyday delivering quality results. I wouldn’t even let Ford mess with it, take it to an upholsterer and get it done correctly.

I am also beginning to have the same wrinkle in the same spot as others, less than 500 miles. I will be taking it to a local dealer in the next week to check out. I expect some wear and wrinkles overtime, but its way to soon for that.

Take it apart and fix it yourself. That is just the work of some meat head mechanic who normally does transmissions who was told to figure out a seat cover,

I took my seat apart to fix my broken seat heater, I can guarantee, then the meat head mechanic to your seat apart, he ripped the tie down tabs out of the seat from, and now your cover has no "anchor" points to keep it tight.

You need to take it apart and see the damage they did, and do what you can to try and re-anchor the tie downs.

Drivers Side Heated Seat fixed with pictures

Like many, my Gen 2 drivers side heated seat died. 3.2 years and 42,*** miles, so no warranty help. I bought the replacement heating element for $19. Plugged it in and confirmed it worked and the one in the seat did not. So time to get to work. #1 - disconnect battery. No one wants to risk...
