Hello new member here, anyone had the seams come apart behind the roll bars? Not on the rollbars but on the base of the rollbars behind it. ??

I have not experienced anything like that on my own car with a sport red interior. I also looked at photos of Z8s sold on BAT over the last couple of years and did not see any cars exhibiting those symptoms, nor have I heard any discussion of this as a common problem (of which the Z8 has its share). So I tend to believe it is somewhat unique issue.Has this problem developed during your ownership? Is it possible the car has been stored in a spot where that area receives constant sun that might have shrunk the leather? Has the car been flooded or left out in the rain with the top down? My guess is the problem relates to exposure to sun or water at some time in its past.
I see that your in California, and if you're in the SF Bay Area I can recommend an upholsterer who has worked on my Z8 to take a look at your car.

These guys have done a lot of body work for folks I know, and have (or did do anyway) a good name, so I'd suggest reaching out to them, them will either have or know of someone who can fix it.

Also I think these guys might have a good resource - https://www.crevierclassiccars.com
Also Satch and Kelly hopefully will chime in as they know the south area suppliers well.
