...Hate to see stuff like that. Yours is a 99, so unless it drove off the lot for the first time less than 3 years ago (6-2-2001 which is possible but unlikely ) I doubt if it is still under factory warranty. Seats wear out, which is why many extended warrantys don't cover them. Check your extended to see if it's covered then get that fixed

BTW anybody try aftermarket seats in their VX? Mine are wearing out and are NOT covered under extended warranty
