Stitching coming away on my seat

The stitching on my front passenger seat where your bottom is placed has come out a little some how and I can't see why. I have done 3000miles I hardly have passengers in the car and am very cautious about wearing jeans with sharp buttons etc, should this be covered under the warranty?

I bet your gonna get the initial, "this is normal wear and tear and not covered under warranty."

I would say it depends on the dealership and SA.

Op: There is no way that is normal. My car has 48k miles on it and the stitching isn't coming out. Post a picture of it. I am curious how bad it is.

I think the warranty will cover it. This sounds very unusual.

Please show photos so it's easier to understand what you mean. Don't know how about you guys, but for me the bottom-left edges of the driver's are inconvenient when going in and out of the car, it's the first place in my seats that has wrinkles at 9000 km.

Havnt quite figured out how to post pics here as I'm new can it be done off my iPhone? If you look at your seat straight down the middle there is stitching in my case in black thread it's like it's been pulled out
