Did you install 986 sport seats or 987 sport seats?

It's the other way around. The roll bar is chewing through the sport seats' plastic backs. Here's what I mean:



Here's where it's rubbing on the roll bar:




The seats came out of a junkyard 986.

I would love to paint my seat backs to match the car's black exterior but not if they're going to get scratched right away. Someone on FB (one of the good guys ) suggested a wrap. I might go that way.

I don't have the issue, there are some marks (mostly on my roll bar's sport design paint which seems very prone to scratches) but nothing new since I have owned it that I am aware of and I have noticed no issues. I have never heard of the roll bar being different for the seats either, but I have included some pictures so you can see what mine looks like everything you see is stock on this car (except possibly the stereo if it in the shot). The last image shows my seats regular position when I am driving.

If the seat is not all the way back can't imagine how it would happen. You mentioned you replaced the seats, perhaps there is something about the way they were put in??

The photo posted by BG305 seems to show a sort of "stand off" that appears to be limiting the travel so the sport seats don't contact the roll bar. Is it possible that since your seats are not stock, that your car is missing this piece?
