    Mazda CX-5: Drivers seat fabric fraying

    Mazda Mazda Advice Mazda CX-5 Mazda CX-5 Advice Mazda CX-5 2014

    The driver’s seat in my 2014 Mazda CX-5 is fraying on the outer bolster, and progressively getting worse. The car has just ticked over 20,000km. Mazda has wiped their hands of it, telling me it is wear and tear and not a manufacturing issue. Are your aware of any other issues with the CX-5 Maxx model seat fabric?

    We haven’t had any other reports of problems with the material. The wear is probably happening because you rub against it as you get in and out of the seat. One way of reducing that is to slide the seat back before you leave the car, that will reduce the rubbing, and you then reset the seat after you get back in. Another way to reduce it is to fit a seat cover.
