Rear "Skins" Being Replaced - Another Leather Thread
I know there are umpteen threads on the topic of the leather used in the '04 TL but I couldn't decide which to add this post to....hence new post.
Just wanted to share with everyone that after having a passenger in my back seat for a 1700 mile weekend long trip the leather stretched terribly. Not a question of being too fussy here........it was STRETCHED big time.
Took it to the dealer (car is only a couple of months old) and they have contacted Acura Canada and will be replacing the 'skins' on the back seat.
Problem here is that I don't know when I'll have anyone in the back seats for any considerable amount of time again so won't know for sure how the replacements compare.
Just wanted to share this with everyone.
Still not crazy about how much the fronts have stretched as well.

The passenger weighed maybe 130 lbs.

I had the exact same problem. First time was back in January when the car was less than one month old. GM from the dealer saw the seats and he decided to replace it. Well, it happened again. My first one hour trip with a rear passenger. He weighed no more than 150lbs, and the leather stretched to hell. I took it back to the dealer again. They wrote it down as normal wear and tear. I didn't specifically told them to replace the seats as this would happen again, but rather to take a note of it.
You mentioned that Acura will be replacing the 'skins'. Are you talking about the Acura corp. would changed the type of the leather all together?
