The strip of vinyl coming loose on your bolster is secured with staples. Mine came loose and tore tiny holes in the leading edge of my seats. Four Winns is aware of the problem and will replace your seats under warrantee. Contact your dealership, mine knew all about the problem (once I brought my situation to their attention). They told me it was a design flaw and they had already replaced numerous seats for the same reason. Only bad thing, It took nearly six months to get the replacements as the seat manufacturer was short of supply. The new seats look identical to the originals with the exception of wraping the bolster without using the strip to secure the vinyl.

I dont know if this problem with the bolster seat is isolated to the 2006 models only. Does anyone with a 2005 model or a 2007 have a 1/2" wide strip of vinyl about 18" long attached to the inside flat of the bolster? It makes contact with the front edge of the seat when you raise and lower it.

Txjole2, is your boat a 2006 model? The graphics suggest it may be. What problem did you have with your seats that they would need to be replaced? Also, what do you mean when you write that you are on your 4th or 5th complete sundeck? I thought the sundeck seating option refered to the rear passenger seating. I am refering the bolsters on the front seats.

bugsdoc1 My dealer, for what ever the reason, was not forthcoming with information until I described what was happining on my boat and then they asked specific questions regarding the punctures and scuffs and I must have answered correctly (I answered honestly) before they disclosed that Four Winns was replacing these seats. I got the feeling that although they acknowledged the problem, they were not issuing a "recall" on all these seats.
