Has anyone experienced premature fabric wear on the seats? My 04 Forester actually purchased new in 05) has 61 K on it and the driver seat fabric is now becoming threadbare in certain spots. I have had other non Subaru vehicle makes with 165K and 10 years old and never have had this type of problem. I am under 200 lbs and do not drive with a wallet in my hip pocket.

 

I like my XT, but you don't replace seat fabric at the local auto part store.
