Default Would color rubbing off leather seats be covered under warranty?
Still got 6 months left on the original warranty, taking it in next week to check out a few things. Noticed on the drivers seat, a couple of spots where the color seems to have rubbed off, no clue how that might have happened. Would that be covered by warranty?

highly doubtful. That is pretty much the definition of "wear and tear"...

Default Audi seats are Vat Dyed, not sprayed like Japanese cars. The color can't rub off as it's all the
way through, perhaps the leather is worn?

Then yes, the leather is worn - is that covered by warranty? )

Default Agree, I got a couple places which the color has worn through...
Still has some of the color, but you can definetly tell. Steering wheel, and a part of the drivers side seat (where my belt rubs agains the back of the seat... neither is terrible...
