Exclamation Seat Belt Ripped the Leather

The tongue of the seat belt pierced the perforated upper leather skin of my 07 GS 350. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone with a solution?

I would let the dealer look at it and get it fixed, it seems pretty unreasonable for that to happen

This gen GS gas very soft leather and many have complained about butt imprints, child seat imprints etc. Also, I find the wood to be soft and can be indented easily as well, you almost have to be super gentle in the car to keep it pristine...once my seat belt metal impacted the steering wheel and made a tiny dent in the wood !

i had a similar problem which the seatbelt was scratching the leather right near it. i basically took the little plastic piece out and the piece of the seatbelt strap is all the way downnn.
