Gear stick gator splitting
- Thread starter adambolus
- Start date
When i came to get mine checked out they said its under warranty and would need to order the gaitor in, so they told me to call them to check when it's in but when i called the gaitor was on back order so i had to wait a week to get it replaced and it was done in 5mins. ovbs would take at least a day or 2 to get the part in.
Its a none stock item, so they had to order it in,
they ordered one, but then realised it was wrong so i had wait longer lmao
Mine has a split in it aswell, just over 2 years old so I think i'll jump on the bandwagon and get it replaced.
Yet another thing I had to get fixed was the clips on the parcel shelf. The ones that act on the pivots. One had broken then the other broke as I shut it.
They originally said the parcel shelf wasn't covered under warranty, but the clips are.
All done in 20 mins no hassle or fuss.
On another note, apparently the best selling colour is magico black with 33.1% then white with 19.2%

Well had the car in for a.service and they did the gator at the same.time
The new gator looks.and feels much better material, more like a leather really
That one looks much better!! The one I have in mine looks cheap n nasty in my opinion
will say to my dealer when its in getting serviced this month. Maybe treat myself to a Seat Sport gearknob too
Yeah, i think that the material is too stiff, so with all the movement it splts.
The new one seems a lot more suptle and can move easier

put mine in today for the gator to be renewed,looking at tuesday as they will have to order it,the guy said that he cannot guarntee the same cos seat have changed the materials used,can any of you guys who have had it renewed explain what the difference is ??????
Slightly different material.
Original was like cheap vinyl plastic, new one seems more like leather, softer to touch and seems stronger.

Sorry to jump-start an old thread, but my car was in my local dealer's on Friday for it's 20K service and I asked about the gearstick gaiter as the one in my car had started to split in the same way as the ones above. Got told this wasn't covered under warranty replacement and the failure was down to fair wear and tear!!!!! WTF????!!! I argued with the service manager for all of 10mins and he basically said he agreed with what I said, but Seat would not replace it FOC.
The gaiter should last for the life of the car, not under 2 years! Obviously poor quality and not fit for the purpose it was designed for.
I will be phoning Seat on Monday!![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
