car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precau-
tions are needed though. Avoid pro-
longed and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which,
by applying a high pressure on the fab-
ric in a small area, could cause some
threads to break, thereby damaging
the upholstery.
