Mine has wear on driver's side. I think if previous owner uses the automated seat positioner when the engine shuts off, the movement and final position of the seat, puts the driver in such a position that they rub on the b-pillar getting out.

I'm small in frame and never have found the need to have my seat and steering wheel move to let me out of the car. In addition to causing wear on the c-pillar, you also put more cycles on the seat/steering wheel motors by using this feature.

Fabric is kinda thin and fragile on the b-pillar in my opinion.
