"Unusual" cloth seat wear in RTS?

I'm wondering if the following pictures shows normal wear-and-tear for the fabric seats or if this is not normal.

I just hate the idea of having to take my truck in for this, as I've had seat issues before.

I have had the RL for 8 months now and have 7400 miles on her. My driver's seat does not have a crease in it like yours. I am 5'10 and 185lbs.

Re: "Unusual" cloth seat wear in RTS?

Mine looks like that and the passenger side starts to look like that if I let my wife drive the RL....I think it has something to the width of one’s behind....

Thanks for the help.

I didn't suspect it was normal and I'd like to get it (and a possible steering wheel) issue fixed and taken care of.

I take it you are an average size/height human? I guess Honda is discriminating against my height....

Mine looks like that . 5'10", 150lbs, new August "06" with 30,000 miles. Eight months ago I changed the way I entered and exit the RL because my fabric started to look like it was braking down and hitting my knee on the light switch. Now It looks like the foam or ? is beginning to take a s^%!.

The location of that crease is actually the edge of the seat frame. I think it is formed as the edge of the seat is folded and stretched over the seat frame edge. It is caused by how one enters and exits and/or your size.

Thats great! Anything in the manual that tells you how to enter or exit . Anyone have any luck getting it replaced or repaired under warranty?

Actually X-Braun, I have seen that before. Talk to DJeaux (RTX) has the same thing
