Ford will charge you for a cover + labour.

That area of the seat is a high use area....meaning when you go in & out of the car, that part of the seat is always rubbed. If your looking to get this done under warranty, they'll just deny it saying it was due to wear & tear....which is true.

Most cars with cheap fabric will tear/wear in the same spots.

The Justy has tears in those same areas, and so does my father beemer. So its not like its just the focus that has this problem. ;)

I can feel a sharp screw on the left side of the drivers seat, and yes there is a small hole as well....



yes it does hurt!!!


New seats are definitely in the future!
