If you’re using the standard seat, I suggest you sand down the edges of the plastic lugs that bolt the rear seat to the frame. The edges are sharp and can slice thru the front seat cover when attaching. Noticed the cut after it came back from the dealer, but who’s to say who did it. Regardless it is a design issue that was overlooked, and easily fixed with a few rubs of sand paper.
