I think my seat is cracking hellllllpppppp

I was examining my seats today and noticed a section of the driver side seat has a wrinkly/cracking part. And i felt the same side on the passenger side and that part was fine. The crack is where your spine would be set at. Is my seat beginning to crack or something? My car is 01, should i take it to the dealer or is this just normal? Im thinking about taking it to the dealer anyways cause there is bubbling on the front bumber of my car and need to know if i should tell them about the seat cracking or whatever. There is only one Acura dealer where i live and it is 20 minutes away, so i hardly go out to that area but only when i need to.
My wiper blades are getting worn out too, should i tell them about that too?

Thanks and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Dude,

Bring it in to the dealer and tell and shown them the problems you think you're having. That's the least you can do for the car let alone yourself.....

Bring it to the dealer's and show it to them.

If you're talking about the leather surface cracking, have you cleaned and conditioned your leather lately? Acura doesn't condition its leather before delivery, and it will dry out if you don't take care of it immediately.

My seat had a crack and dealer replaced the bottom seat cover. As the guys here tell you, go to dealer, show it to them and tell them to replace it. And make sure you take proper care of the leather, cause it dries quick and craks.

Im not sure if my seat is cracking or not, but there is alot or wrinkles almost beginning to crack. That same spot on the passenger seat doesnt have as much wrinkles/cracks as the driver does. I applied some of Eagle One leather conditioner once i saw it. Is that Eagle One leather conditioner any good? I looked at Meguiers leather conditioner and cleaner in one today and wondering if that is any good. Do you guys know if it is any good?

Thanks....again

Yes, those wrinkles will turn into cracks if you don't condition the surface properly.

I can't recommend Lexol's leather products highly enough. Once every six months is probably all you need to keep your seats soft and supple. Lexol makes a pH-balanced leather cleaner and a separate conditioner. You can buy them at Advance Auto Parts or any online car care store.

While you're at it, pick up a bottle of Lexol Vinylex for your plastic trim too. It's worked wonders for my interior.

I noticed that your Acura dealer is 20 minutes away but that's the only place besides the MB dealer who carries Lexol in my area.
