Seat Leather replaced

I has having an issue where the side of the pass. seat was bubbling up on the synthetic leather. The dealer replaced the seat back cover. He did a good job, but the cover does not match the drivers seat. The pass seat has a looser fit to it, more grain in the leather and also has more "gathers" built in. The original seat was more tailored looking. Any of you guys experience this. I hate to complain to the dealer since he did this as a courtesy as I am out of warranty. Plus I am not sure all the covers won't look the same.

What you are seeing is what the leather seat looked like when it was brand new. Those 'gathers' and grain that you see is what it looks like when new. The only way to remedy the problem is to sit in it. The cover will begin to conform to the seat after some seat time.

Sorry, unfortunately theres no other way around it.

Can you guys do me a favor the next time you are in your car??

Is the area on the side of the pass seat next to the center armrest well padded or does it feel hollow? I can't remember and when I slip my hand between the center armrest and the side of the seat bolster it feels un-padded. Did they forget to put something back when they replaced the seat cover?

Thanks
