Ford Bronco Sport Rip in the leather 6C9B755E-4446-4631-A300-AE4932B374D6

I had my truck for one week and the seat tore! When i folded the seat down, I notice a crease where the seatbelt buckle meets the seat. I have reached out to my salesman about how to fix. Has this happened to any one else? What is the best way to fix this before it gets larger?

Most dealers have or know of a mobile Leather and Vinyl repair person on hand, they use these services to fix up the used cars on their lots......This is easily repairable and wont be noticeable when fixed....The question is what caused this so it doesn't keep happening..... I doubt the seatbelt did that??

Duct tape comes in every color of the rainbow šŸŒˆand then somešŸ˜ƒ

Bronze is giving good advice. And a good dealer should warranty it.

judging by the height and location
similar puncture wound in my other vehicle
right rear pants pocket
always handy spot to put a screwdriver as a tool holder
*forgets screwdriver*
nice personalized memento of stupidity

Better that it pokes the leather seat than poking you in your...nether regions.

Iā€™ve owned my car for 4 days today I folded the seats down and when I folded them back up I noticed a rip in the exact same spot as yours! Definitely from the seat belt buckle. Iā€™m quite mad. Already reached out to my salesmen as well.

Good morning. Would you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this seat concern on my end? Thank you!

The leather they use is super thin. Already shows more wear at 6k than my truck did at 32k with way harder use. My seats are folded down 95% of the time. Now I have to check mine

YUP! No one was in my backseat so not even sure how it happened...grocery bag?? Leather seems pretty thin and noticed a rip after having my bronco sport less 8 months at the time. I reached out over 2 months ago to my Ford Dealership where I purchased, and nada. I bought the extended warrantee but perhaps its not covered under anything...:rolleyes:

Iā€™m having the same issue. Did the dealership fix it?
