Leather Seats

Is anybody having trouble with their driver seat not wearing well? My back side panel is looking pretty bad.

I haven't had that problem, but might I suggest that you try using some store bought products to solve the problem. If you want to restore life to leather, Lexol makes a good conditioner, available at any auto parts store, target, etc.

For the vinyl parts of the seat, I'd recommend either 303 Aerospace Protectant or Vinylx (available at any Pep boys).

The following site had all of these products, with no delivery charges or taxes:

Lexol leather conditioner and Vinylex both work well for me, and make a noticable difference in suppleness.

It doesn't really bother me, but I can't seem to do much about the visual aspect of the wrinkles on the left hip portion of my driver's seat.

I've had those creases or wrinkles since the first day I got the car. I dont think its from wear.

True, I've had some since day 1 (on both front seats), but the left section of the driver's seat is noticably more wrinkly, so wear and tear must have something to do with it. Doesn't really look bad, just broken in.

I think the wrinkles are from exiting the car... cuz you kinda sit on that part (which results in wrinkles) so yes it has everything to do with wear... but you're right it doesn't look bad
