How wrinkled are your seats?
I know wrinkles are a characteristic of leather. Just curious how some member's seat are.

 

ive been drivin mine for bout 1200 miles now and the seats are startin to wrinkle... also seems like the bottom part of the seat is stretching... anyone else got that problem??

 

condition them, often

 

yes, that stretching shit is happening to me as well. I'm taking my car back to the dealer tomorrow. It seems just a little too early for this to be happening.

 

After 3,000 miles I don't have the butt wrinkling problem. I have noticed two other issues with the Leather.
In the drivers seat on the perforated 'bottom' insert fuzz is coming out of the little holes.
And I've noticed the rear of the passenger headrest is very, very wrinkled.
Have not yet conditioned the leather. It's spend little time in the sun and is garaged at night.
I wonder when I should condition it?

 

I really hope that the dealer does something about this. Someone on this forum stated that they talked to their dealer about the seats and they agreed to replace them. I'll see what happens tomorrow.

 

Keep us updated.

 

yup. 4000+ miles on my TL and i'm starting to notice the wrinkling of the leather on my driver side seat. i hope conditioning will help but how much???

 

Mine's 59 years old and it is pretty wrinkled.

 

Well, I think the "butt" print issue also has to do with a poor padding material under the leather. I am not sure any dealers would replace the whole seats because of this problem.

 

My driver's seat started to wrinkle after 1000 miles, however after conditioning the seats a few times per month it did get a little better.

 

Spray some Laxol or Zaino leather conditioner and it will smooth and fluffy like a baby.

 

Condition your leather regularly from day 1. Zaino, Zymol, Lexol (there are a few more) all make great conditioners. I prefer Zaino and Lexol currently using Zaino less greasey and easier to apply, but the others are good also. Get their cleaners also to clean before you condition. Once a quarter is usually often enough.
