my car has 7500 miles on it, and the seats have wrinkles in them already. not on the actual seat, but where it should be stretching (i.e.- the points where the leather would pull the most). this is normal right? im assuming leather seats will all get their own unique "wrinkles" to settle in. and if this is NOT normal, then what am i doing wrong? im not fat btw. ha.

I was going to bump the tread before it went to page 2. I was at work, and had to actually work, so I didn't reply earlier.

I've got some wrinkles (9000 miles on the car) and I'm not fat either

I'm not worried about it, as I figured it was normal.

I do have my seat setting on memory #2, and I use the #1 key flob. When I unlock the car the seat goes farther back then I need so that I don't unnecessarily wear the seat bolster out.

what do you mean wear out the seat bolster?

zigzagzig

and i know people have something to add about leather wrinkling and aging

GreenMonster

On high mileage cars, the seat bolster will wear out over time. Getting in and out of the car can wear the bolster out.

Here's an extreme example of the bolster wearing out

I have 11000 miles and some seat 'wrinkles'. I haven't seen an used leather interior car without them. I treated the passenger seat with Lexol and that helped the appearance a bit.

apparently its the price one pays for leather seating. It does not hold up like cloth or vynil. I've never seen an older leather car without these sort of problems.. I would prefer a very high quality vinyl myself. I know thats very politically uncorrect these days.
