65fairlane Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have the 2008 Mariner Hybrid with the leather package. I drive it a lot on rough dirt/gravel roads for camping, often with the rear seats folded down to store more gear. I have noticed that the metal floor brackets (with the small yellow tab) that the seat bottoms latch into have some sharp edges, and when the seat back is folded on top of these brackets with some weight on them and some friction from bumps on the road that the brackets are beginning to cut into the leather. The solution is to put some old socks over the brackets when the seats are folded down. As a product suggestion, installing a small carpeting flap next to the brackets that could be folded over them would be a nice touch to keep the seats in good shape.
