Default Help...Problem with newly installed seat covers

Hello,

Just finished rebuilding my rear seat with blasted/primed seat springs/frames, new burlap, cotton, foam etc, and new covers.

Finished the seat bottom 3 days ago and finished the seat back last night. Looked them over once more this afternoon before I put them in storage (car still not painted) and I see 3-4 of the heat pressed vertical seams on the backrest have let go and it looks like total crap...to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

After some close inspection I see what appears to be a manufacturing defect. I can see that the pressure or heat that was used on the affected seams to bond them through the foam and to the back panel was less than the others that are still holding, as you can see the shape of the simulated stitching on the good seams while the ones that let go have almost no embossing at all.

Complicating matters is that I purchased the complete interior kit 4 years ago and due to change of jobs and other life issues just started on the interior last week

Anyone seen this happen before? I will contact the manufacturer next week to see what they might be willing to do for me.

Thanks
