Default 997 passenger seat pinches leather when folding up

Has anyone else experience that when you fold the passenger seat up, so someone get into the back, the leather pinches on the bottom and it starting to tear the leather. See photo. It seems that the seat is pushing out at the bottom. For now, i have put an anti skid pad typically used for couches not to scratch wooden floors. But this is not the solution. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and what the potential fix was.

If you look close to the base of the back rest, the leather is tearing from the rubbing. That is the white part of the grey seat.

That plastic piece comes off, but I don't recall exactly how - maybe look for instructions on the MA Carbon .website. Pop it off and see if there's something going on behind it.

I know it is not much help, but my 2012 C2S did this too. I caught it during the warranty period and the dealer installed a new seat back cover as the original was actually cut through. I think that the seat back was out of alignment ins some way, but since it was under warranty, I didn't do a great amount of looking.

Good Luck
