After 3 months worth of normal day to day driving, I noticed today that my seat belts started to fray on the edges on some parts close to the buckle. I checked out the passenger side and it looked fine and obviously it was simply on my side. Is this normal wear and tear? Could I ask the dealer to replace it with a new seat belt cos it was an optioned coloured seatbelts? For those materials, it should not fray so easily... but this is a bit strange. It looks to me like a warranty item but wondering if I can claim warranty cos this can't be categorized as 'defective' but I am sure that it frayed under normal usage/driving conditions.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've never seen this problem on any of my Porsches (or other cars for that matter). I'd push for a replacement and see if you can figure out the cause.
got a picture of the frayed belt?
Redpocket I will take one today but it is not serious fraying... it has little mole hairs coming out on the side. It's NOT THAT BIG a dealbut still...
