Default Sport Seat Movement, Peeling Rubber Trim, Door handle Rattle ?

The driver's side sport seat back rest moves back about a 1/8 -1/4 of an inch upon pressure. Is this normal or acceptable? The passenger seat is solid.

I keep catching my sponge on a piece of rubber trim along the side under the doors which seems to be slowing peeling away from the body. Warrantee worthy?

A slight rattle of the interior driver's door handle warrantee worthy?

I just want to get some opinions of whether these things are normally fixed or covered under warrantee so that I have some sort of clue what to expect when I present these problems to my dealer. Thanks for any comments or advice.

Default Replaced rubber trim at 20k mile service...

I noticed the same peeling of the lower rubber trim on the front doors as I washed the car. About 3 weeks ago, i also noticed a 2 inch long slice in the passenger side piece. This was no doubt a result of the fact that the trim was peeling back. My dealership decided it was not covered under warranty so it cost me $80 to replace.

I'd recommend you tell your dealership about the peeling so they can apply more glue to prevent similar damage.

If your car was still under warranty- they should have covered it. Poor service.

Default Good luck with the seat complaint....

....I mentioned it to my dealer and I received the dreaded "it's within spec" response.<p><a href="mailto:andy_hedin@hotmail.com"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/A_Hedin_Sig.jpg" BORDER=0></a>
