In all my years, I don't think that I've ever seen that happen. Must be a 900 only issue???

I'll bet that your dealer can get Polaris to cover it. :wink:

 

the only good thing is a blind man can see why it happened, them corners should not be that pointed.

 

Looks to be affecting only the LE models. Maybe due to the covering material. My base shows no signs of this.

 

just wondering what kind of pain this is going to be. if you just recover it it will rip again.

 

The seat material does seem kinda cheap on my browning, as compared to previous year models. Fortunately though, mine has not torn at all in almost 10 months.

Round the corners-off with a Dremel. Problem solved. IMO.

That's what I had dealer do when the installed heated seats.

 

mine was tore before I even bought it.

they ordered a new one for me.

X2 , the first thing i saw when dealer mount mine for delivry

 

i have some info,the dealer i bought the ranger from agreed with me 100%. either the pans are way to big or the foam pads are too small. they also agreed that replacing the covers will fix nothing. so we went and looked at some of the le models they had.lets say those seats will be coming back.

the corners are very sharp,it is a design flaw. polaris is sending new seats,if the pans are the same we are going to have a problem. as for using a dremel might work, but really ! it has less then 25 miles on it. they will take care of it one way or the other.i will let you all know when the new ones come in,my guess polaris knows about this issue.

HO YES the know , i got mine last september 2012 , new one haved new pan .

 

My Browning is ready to tear or wear through any day now, even the backs of the seat corners are real sharp and sticking out. Is Polaris replacing just the seat bottoms? My warranty runs out in 10 days.

 

Sorry , but just come from dealer , and check two 900 XP in showroom , you know something , ben! problem with seat was the same :evil:

 

sorry to here others are seeing the same problem.

 

guess what ! polaris STILL HAS A PROBLEM. new seats came in the pans are still way too big. dealer is tryin to get polaris to fix this.why would they send out the same crap.

 

Polaris obviously is super slow to respond to quality defects.

You'll have to take care of it yourself like myself and others have done. I used an air upholstery stapler and ground the trays smooth on a bench grinder. Took about 3 hours with also putting in heated seats at same time. Picking the old staples out carefully took the most time.

 

i get your point, but polaris WILL make good on this one way or the other.

 

Just got word from my great dealer that Polaris approved new seats and they are on order!

 

i get your point, but polaris WILL make good on this one way or the other.

If history repeats itself, Polaris will usually replace them the first time, but not the second.
As stated above, as sad as it is to say, you will be ahead, if like the others, you fix them yourself.

 

I am on my second set, they are almost busting through, my dealer told me when it tares you will get new ones. Ill play polaris's game.

 

My third set of seats are on the way.

 

I'm in business myself and after I have a problem I get it corrected before my customer's get mad I cost me money redoing or replacing parts. Its seems as if Polaris has all kinds of money and customer's isn't there major priority. I've got seat problems and they are sending me a new set.

This is my third Polaris and before I buy another one thing's will have to change.
If it wasn't for my good dealer, I wouldn't buy another one!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Guys, I fixed my seats in just alittle over an hour, I know that we should't have to, but it beats replacing them every couple weeks. I simply removed the seat covers on each end, then took tin snips, and cut about 1/2 inch off the problem areas, then restapled the pad back on.

 

I know what you are saying and if my new seats isn't any different than my old seats, I will do the same. ( The only problem with that is if we fix these things and not let it be known what's wrong, will they ever correct the situation.)
