Unhappy bad leather seats

i've purchased my TL for around a month or so, and i am dealing with a rusky situation where my leather seats are getting wrinkled like they were scratched. What do you recommend me to do?

I got my seat (front bottom) cover replaced when they got too wrinkley. But it's surprising yours happened within a month! Anyway, you can always get them replaced if they get wrikled.

I've got some mild wrinkles after couple of months on driver's seat and I noticed that using any leather conditioner would alleviate this issue.

Did you get yours replaced by the dealer under warranty?

When I had the RSX-S, I had a similar incident where the leather was showing signs of wear at an early age, I called the dealer and the Service Mngr. said that Acura would replace it at a one time deal because it was considered "wear and tear", my argument was that my parents had owned BMW's and after years of use they never had the leather wear as fast as the ones supplied by Acura, he was nice about and didn't argue the fact that the leather used by Honda is not the "best" quality, go figure...good luck...

By the way, buy some "Saddle Soap" by Kiwi and use it often to keep it conditioned...
