I have a Leon St. it’s literally 3 weeks old. Today I pulled the retractable boot cover and heard something snap. One of the plastic hump that holds the cover has broken off.
Will seat fix this under warranty?

If it's snapped off and you didn't rip the cover then yeah it should be covered clearly not wear and tear at 3 weeks old. Mines fine at 2 years old!
no rips in the cover. The cover is still new! I’ve only opened and closed it a few times
Oh I see! No I pulled with normal force.Sorry should of been more specific, rips as in you've ripped it out with force and speed. Should of used a different word. But if you've just pulled it out normally then I'm sure they'll cover it. Probably wouldn't cost them much to put it right. Just very annoying!
Best thing to do is call the sales man you got the car from and ask him.I have a Leon St. it’s literally 3 weeks old. Today I pulled the retractable boot cover and heard something snap. One of the plastic hump that holds the cover has broken off.

That’s what I’m thinking. But I pulled it just like anyone else would to cover the luggage. I’ll call the local dealer..If they do it would be a goodwill gesture from the dealer themselves, Seat would say it's driver damage.
I once had the air con condenser leak, where a small stone passed through the grill (without any damage) and holed the soft aluminium, I was told 'driver damage' and no warranty cover with an £800 bill.
Call the dealer in which the car was made by and ask them if the breakage is covered by there warranty... if the part has a manufacturing defect it’s will be covered under warranty that’s how it works.it’s a company car...
Since dieselgate, based on VAG car owners comments on various forums, VAG seem to be taking a much stricter approach to warranty claims - I suppose they have to reduce their costs wherever and whenever they can to help fund the cost of dieselgate ?
@Aaftab Mughal - don’t be surprised if the dealer tells you the damage to your boot cover is the result of an ‘external influence’ (i.e.someone using excessive force on it), so not covered under warranty rather than the damage being the result of a manufacturing defect which would be covered. However as @BoomerBoom has said, the dealer may be prepared to replace it under goodwill as the car is only three weeks old.
