Frayed Stitching On Seat

Hi All,

We picked up a used 2016 C43 some months ago, with 59,000km (36k miles). Very happy with the car, apart form cracking a wheel and a few other minor issues.

I did notice a bit of wear on the performance seats, though i put it down to the age of the vehicle. The last few months or so i have noticed the red stitching starting to fray. The car does have a 2 year Mercedes backed warrantly, though i dont't think things like this are covered for used cars. We've barely put 2000km on it in the last 7 months, so it's not as if it's from over use.

is there any way from stopping it getting worse ?

Be more careful getting in and out and don't have anything in your back pocket while doing so is about all you can do. As far as fixing it, an upholstery shop is the cheapest route.

yea the stitching gets ****ed up over time in certain places, for me the stitching on the door handle next to my left foot is damaged from my leg hitting it.
