I just noticed today that the inside top corner of the driver seat in my '06 Ex is breaking down and deforming. I took a couple of short trips today, so it's not from a prolonged trip. I'm 5'8", 180 lbs, and sit pretty normally while driving, so I'm not sure why this should be happening. Here's pics of what I'm talking about:

I have about 1,000 miles left on my warranty. Is this "normal wear and tear", or is this something I should bring up to my service rep? Doesn't seem like it should be happening after 2 1/2 years / 35,000 miles.

What do you guys think? Am I being **** about normal seat wear? I'm thinking that it's only going to get worse.
 






I doubt it will be covered under warranty. All depends on the dealer though. Looks like you have the gangsta lean.

lol; I grew up in NJ, and when I first noticed this problem I thought "man, I must be driving like I'm back in high school..."
