What happened to this High Country back seat??

[xycrazy]

Hey Folks,

We‘re looking for a used High Country right now. The car is in good condition overall, a few small scratches here and there. Nothing big.

However, one of the back seats looks weird. Like compressed. The other seats are fine but this passenger side bucket seat doesn’t look like high quality.

Has anyone seen something like this? It‘s a 2021 model with 20k miles. Wondering whether the factory warranty would cover it?

Can‘t believe this is normal wear and tear after 20k miles. To me it just looks like poor quality.

Thoughts?

Probably had a child seat installed in it for a long time and stretched the leather. See if you can negotiate a new seat cover and cushion into the deal.

My guess would be a car seat as well. We are trying to avoid this ourselves by putting a towel down under the car seats

They very likely don‘t include it in the deal. The car will not be sold by a Chevy dealer and so I was wondering if factory warranty would cover it

Probably not…you could try. Don’t think a seat cover + cushion would be more than about $500 for the parts.

i'd ask your local chevy dealer and/or a body shop you trust how much an OEM replacement leather seat would be...give them the VIN and hopefully you'll get someone competent to work with

this isn't what you need - but this is what you need for that vehicle

It's a void in the seat bottom foam. Probably didn't show when new until someone's butt stretched the vinyl.

Might be able to bring it back with steam.

Had a late '80's GMC pickup delivered with pockets or voids in the seat. Had to let them try to inject filler like it was a Kardashian but they eventually replaced the seat bottom.

My first thought was a child’s car seat but usually that’s not where the pressure would be put. I’m gona guess defective foam and bad leather. I’m sure a Chevy dealer could work something out for you possibly under warranty if not that then what’s a little more money anyway!! Ha

I had a car seat in mine and it didn't look anything like that when I took it out.

Yeah that's what I though, too. It seems like it's just bad quality. Nothing that one would expect from a brand new car. Probably I take it for a test drive and stop at a Chevy dealership to have them look

All depends on how long the car seat was in it, and how big the baby/toddler was. Had one in my T bird years ago--had leather--and it was indented and squashed for awhile. I sold the car and you could still see where it was. It looked better, but you could still see it.

My guess is someone put something hot on it, like a hot casserole dish while heading to grandmas for Sunday dinner.

I’d read about that one. Not the right move for safety

You can remove the seat- undo the hogrings and put some foam filler pad. A auto upholstery shop is your best bet.

Thanks everyone. I try my luck with Chevy first to see what they can do

I would also say a full or booster seat. I had very similar markings on my M5 when sold it.
