Default could you get the seats reupholstered?

I know its a pain and you shouldnt have to do this for a car like this but would it be possible to get the seats covered in a different kind of leather?

Default Mine did at first but have stopped now (Napa). That's normal for leather to stretch when new...

Your leather shoes stretch over time...

Default Not only look bad, but ...

I think they're not real comfortable either. The sports seats on my wife's 328xi are so much better. Firm, supportive and zero stretching of the leather. The Audi seats are clearly a design flaw. Are folks seeing this in other models like the new A4-5 that I believe also has the curved seams?

I noticed that Alcantera seating surfaces is standard now, at least a no charge option.

Default Re: and Audi still not acknowledging? that's the bigger issue....

I agree with you guys. My seats started to sag with 150 miles on it. Now I have 1100 miles on it and Audi is getting ready to replace them. I truly hate the fact that such a great car company would basically look the other way about such a clear $%^ up on Audi's part. I will keep everyone here up to date after my seat gets replace next week by Audi manhattan who order my seat cover just last week. What 353 wrote makes a lot of sense to me. My thing is, can you imagine paying the money that we all pay for out cars and we can even drive with a wallet on our back pocket? That's truly insane. I own two BMW's and one I own for the last 5 years and the seats on my 545 still looks brand new. Audi do the right thing!!!!
