Looks like you need a seamstress or an upholsterer. I have your seats, but don't have your problem. WTF are you doing with that leg extension anyway? Maybe you have a Tazmanian Devil under your seat

What in the world is that thing there for? Why is there holes it looks like to screw it in, but no holes in the leather? You should just screw it in..

That should be replaced under warranty. No doubt. Wear and tear like that on an '08? No way. Somebody missed a stitch. Take it to another dealership for replacement.

That leather looks "broke down"!
What are you doing in your car?
That's not right. I have the same, and nothing looks like that!

The bottom edge of the leather should have a plastic insert running the whole length - you pull and stretch the leather under the extension and the leather (W/Plastic Strip) slips into a groove under the edge to secure it.
