R-Line seat coming unglued

[Hillbilly]

In both pictures there is an obvious stain like something has run down the back squab and whatever it was has settled in the seams.

Would be amazed to find such a high wear area is glued together . Bet if you cleaned it gently with a damp cloth it would come off to some extent

It looks like you have spilt something and it has set in the seam..?? Our R-Line seats are definitely stitched...

Ours aswell...

Although what you have proposed sounds feasible, I thought the seat slopes back toward the squab, so if there was an offending liquid dropped, it would not have run, against gravity, for such a distance along the seat seam. That's what my wife reckons too so it must be correct!

To me it looks, as others have mentioned, something has been spilled down the backrest. You can see a stain flowing down it near the corner of backrest and side bolster. It's dark. Whatever that was, has settled in the actual seat stitching between base of seat and base bolster. And caused the stitching to fail. I reckon you are going to up for it.

Perhaps she hasnt allowed for someone sitting in the seat when the maybe spill occurred, thereby making it lower to accomodate the persons posterior.. It also would depend on the quantity of whatever it was as to the level when it settled. Could also have happened when the car was moving and braking spread it forward.

Have you tried to remove a small amount or just assuming your theory about glue is correct.
