Need Opinion/Help for Driver Seat Leather

Hello Guys. I just wanted to ask someone here if they had any suggestions/opinion on the leather seats on the 05 TL. With that said, I am a daily driver and my driver seat looks like nothing but waves where you sit on. It's not smooth like the rest of the seats in the car. I understand that I could search this forum to find out more info on this problem, but I just wanted a quick opinion and see if any has had Acura replace the leather or is this normal wear? If they did replace the leather, did Acura give you a hard time?

By "waves" do you mean wrinkles or crease marks? If that's the case, that wear is normal. Leather is broken in over time and will show wrinkles with more wear. The reason why you notice it on your driver's seat and no others is the fact you sit in your driver's seat every day and it wears much quicker.

Treat with Lexol from time to time and it will be fine.

I had my leather seat bottom replaced under warranty due to my dumb ass spilling rubbing alcohol on it, the dealership didnt give me any problems replaced it without arguement. But if they end up replacing it it probably wont look as good as if it was done from the factory, you might even have more wrinkles, i think that the factory uses special machines to make the leather fit as best as possible, but then you might get lucky and have less, mine turned out pretty good and am very happy has very few wrinkles!
