SUBJECT
Seatback Cover Wear Marks
MODEL
E85 (Z4) equipped with M Sport Seats
SITUATION
Wear marks may occur on the seatback cover if the seat is positioned to where it makes contact with the roll hoop trim cover for an extended period of time.
CAUSE
The seat assembly is designed for maximum possible adjustment, and as a result, it is possible for the top of the backrest cover to contact the roll hoop trim cover.
This contact occurs when the seat is in its rear most position with the seatback reclined.
CORRECTION
On a customer complaint basis only, replace the seatback cover.
The customer should also be advised that if the seat is positioned against the roll hoop cover again, the wear marks will reappear.
PROCEDURE
Refer to repair instruction RA 52 15 405.
PARTS INFORMATION
Refer to the electronic parts catalog (EPC).
WARRANTY INFORMATION
For information only.
As this condition occurs as a result of customer use, the cover should not be replaced more than one time under warranty on a particular vehicle.
