Seat wear.

[Nfs1000f]

Has anyone with Recaro‘s who uses the strap near the headrest for holding the seatbelt seen any wear from the belt rubbing on the seat? I’ve had the car 2-1/2 years and have been reluctant to.

I'm short so I use the retaining strap and haven't noticed any wear. I HAVE however noticed some wear on the bolster where the lap belt tends to rub, I assume because I have to have the seat pulled up pretty far. Mine's a Recaro car so no feedback on the comfort package seats.

No answer for OP but I have the comforts and have also not used the belt since it seems like it forces the belt to be against the seat at an odd angle.

13,000 miles. Use mine every day. Don’t like where the shoulder strap lays if I don’t use it. Zero indications of any funny wear.

Sure have, i used it for one day in the mountains after I got my car this summer and have really bad wear. I'm expecting they will warranty it. Really bugs me. I was with 100 ish other cars and went around looking in peoples windows and some used it , some didn't and it was hit or miss if it caused wear. I don't know if thats maybe the angle that it pulls down or not depending on your body type? I have no idea, but I stopped using it immediately even though it is annoying to have to reach back for the belt.
