General Abarth seats

So basically Fiat are going to replace this problem on any Stilo with it?>>

They will replace the seat base - as they did on my previous 2002 one - though it just gets replaced with an identically manufactured one, which will also fail in due course

I asked a friend of mine about that, who's company manufacture furniture and basically yes it would make a difference, apparently because 1 the leather is tougher than material and secondly most manufactures will fill the seat with a different material if using leather to cover it.

Ah, many thanks for that - probably explains why I haven't noticed this.

There is also a design fault in the Ulysse seats as well, which some of the guys have experienced.

Is this seat base fix covered in the 3rd year dealer warranty??
