Can you post pictures? My steering wheel is peeling, but on the top side near the buttons.

Sorry to hear about the seat coming apart. Maybe if you used some seat covers.... Does Juicy Couture make seat covers???

Interesting, the paint on my sport wheel is peeling off too. I've got a service appt this friday...I'll have them look into it and get back with their comments.

Its the plastic part, for some odd reason its white underneath the black plastic and its begining to peel where it meets the leather so the stealer just said its covered under the warrenty but their being a little stand offish with the stitching on the thigh support? They don't want to mess with Juicy F so i'm sure they will cover it!

Thanks for the update on what the dealer is telling you. How will they deal with the steering wheel? Will they replace just the plastic part (I assume it is one large piece that fits the steering wheel) or do they have to replace the entire steering wheel?

My guess as to why it is happening is that one of the parking garage attendantsat my work has as many rings on his fingers as Mr. T. and he scratches it up. And yes, you are correct, for whatever reason it is white underneath so that the scratches show up like a sore thumb!
