Seat wear issues...

Just PU'd an 06 SLK55. It's got about a dime-nickel size spot where the black in the leather has worn off/through. I've called the dealers and they claim that this would be ordinary wear and tear and not covered? I got that from three dealers...what the heck? Leather dye should not wear on a car with 11K on the clock? Should it? Am I just car crazy?

That is strange...being black you can probably take it to professional seat maker and be easy to re-dye it.

Find another dealer. That shouldn't happen.
