Chris, living in Ohio one owner car and I had one set of rear seat covers replaced under warranty and they have shrunk again and have torn the stitching. Also the front drivers cover on my car has torn stitching, it's not just in the south or the southwest. It's about sun exposure because my car is seldom garaged and has sat outside for most of it's life.
My rubber gaskets around the glass on the quarter windows is starting to blister and fall apart. 88,000 miles currently, bought car new in February 2006 and have never driven the car in the winter time.
There is a definite problem with these 2 items that is going to be needed restoration parts in the future especially if the cars sit outside. It's doubtful that GM will continue to stock these parts at affordable prices so there will be a definite market for both items as these cars age.
