Default 2009 Ultra Classic Seat

The stitching in my seat is coming apart. I have an extended warranty but the dealer will still not replace it. They say because it is a seat it is considered a wear item. I have pleaded my case that its a manufacture problem because it is the stitching and not the leather that is worn out, but to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how I can contact a Harley Rep. My HOG club is useless.

Try introducing yourself in the New Members Area. More folks might chime in. Sucks about the seat wearing out so soon. You don't hear about that happening too much around here. Guess cuz most folks either modify or replace the stock seats.
