Celica Forums General Discussion General driver side seat out of proportion...warranty covered?

okay here's the thing, I bought a pair of front 2002 leather seats with srs side airbags and one of them happens to be out of aligned meaning, its not straight. It has to do nothing with the bolts or the slider. To fix this, you probably have to take out the seat assembly. When you sit on it, you can tell its a bit crooked. The thing is, is this going to be covered under warranty? I've called the service manager and told me to bring it in tomarrow. I bought these seats from a member here and he's still under warranty for these. I have a feeling they would ask about it since my rear are cloth.


If i cant find him, perhaps someone here can help me out? Probably just a note with ur vehicles vin number, year and mileage and a statement that you sold them to me and still under warranty.

someone pm me.

come on guys!!!!! i need this by tomarrow. I have around 22k miles on my car but i dont want to waste any time dealing with toyota if they try to argue with me. =]

Sorry, I read the post wrong! I don't know how those warrenty situations work.

alrite, 10 bucks to anyone that can help me out.

Requirements - you must have a 2002 or 01 or 00 with leather side airbags STILL under the 36k miles warranty. Once everything is received, give me your paypal id. =]

someone pm me or better yet, IM me through aim.

bump

I don't think they are going to cover you because they are not the seats that came with your car.

especially if you have cloth rears and leather fronts ... I think their gonna notice that.

Tell them that the leather is stock, and that you replaced the BACK seats..

Since you aren't asking them to fix the back, it won't be an issue

Rice, yes these did not came about the seats but put it this way. Buying these seats are like buying an used celica. The warranty still applies anything under 36k. I'm trying to contact the previous owner and if i can get him to get me a note, the year of his car, mileage and vin number, that should work wonders. I need alternative help for someone to help me out with a note if i have problems contacting him. I'm in a bit of a rush and will be taking the car to toyota in 2 hrs. He haven't been on the boards for a while.

thanks for the help guys.

Did you read my suggestion? There's no way they can tell which are the stock ones, so just say that the front are stock, and the rear are replacements.

^^

i bought this car brand new at the dealer 1 and a 1/2 years ago...dont they have invoice in stock in their database? I'm sure they can find out what options I bought with this car.


But Evan, thanks for the suggestion bro. Since im running out of time, ill let you guys know what happened. It's time to go one on one with toyota.

You only have one dealer in your area?

there is a few, but the one im going to is a very good dealer. They've replaced my belt tensioner and water pump (didnt even ask for that) without any problems. This should be the same with the seats.

Well in that case, they shouldn't give you a problem fixing the seats, since (like you said) it's a factory part and you're still within warranty.

Good luck

Y don't you try removing the seat yourself? Just get the right tools! Not a difficult job!
