Re: Crappy leather...must be defective
Good luck boss, I saw it in person and its really bad folks. My 95 tahoe has 215,000 miles and its original leather has held up better.

Re: Crappy leather...must be defective
Quick question... My 05 has just over 10k mile on it now... Seats still look fine, but this thread has me worried that the leather is going to crap out in 2 years... I bought my H2 used and purchased an aftermarket extended warranty (through a non-Hummer dealership). Would something like this typically be covered in that type warranty?

Re: Crappy leather...must be defective
Did you buy warranty without knowing what it covers?????
Most likely will not be covered.

I do not know of any extended warranty that would cover seats as it is considered `wear and tear`. I have gmpp which I'm thinking is the most inclusive but it won't touch this. Good news is most don't look like mine and it is covered under your factory warranty. The other good news is if your seats crap out it gives you an excuse to do a sweet custom job.

Re: Crappy leather...must be defective
The dealer is replacing mine at 24K miles. Drivers Only.
No problems from Dealer, complained and they ordered me a new cover.

Update
To my dissapoinment, Hummer is not willing to do anything to resolve my problem. Essentially with the truck being out of warranty they do not have to do anything and are not going to do anything. Hummer customer care did give me the opertunity to have the work done at a "warranty" price of $2,200 as apposed to the $2,700 post warranty price. They stated the dealership had never seen a problem of this kind so it must be the product being used on the seats. Very dissapointing.
So i guess eventually im going to do a custom interior...ill probably do something that mimics the new sedona colors. It would be much more fun spending th e$1,500 on a new winch however.

Re: Crappy leather...must be defective
I'm gonna bump this thread up another time.
I noticed the other day that my back seat is peeling. (06 SUT W/ 12k miles)
The number of times that someone has sat in the back seat is 5 or 6.
Also have some cracks in the drivers seat. (looks like my Avalanche seat did after 100k miles)
I am going to call my dealer and see what the service manager says.
I'm pretty sure they will take care of me but what a PITA.

Seats have been discussed before and it seems that if the truck is under warranty, the dealers are fixing them. Just be prepared to be without your truck for a while because I think I remember hearing the originals get recovered, not replaced. I could be wrong on that, so don't hold me to it 100%.
