Re: [gti-vr6] Leather Seat Problem

["Jeffrey Marotzke" <jmarot@earthlink.net>]

mine unravled on the side where you brush against it when you get in and
out.
I took a razor blade and trimed it off.  I think the threads one the out
side are for looks since the actual seam on the seat has not widened.
I would trim it and forget it.
