my car had 50k miles on it, and my leather look nothing like that

 

I've seen many G35 seat trims (leather cover on the seat) replaced due to "issues". I'm not sure the exact circumstances, but I do know we've had many replaced under warranty here for various issues. They're a somewhat common part to find in our warranty bin. I'd definitely check with your local dealer.

Close enough to $40K for me! LoL he must have a 6Mt/Cloth/NO options

 

There's not a mention of upholstering or carpeting in the manual, but I assume that the basic warranty would cover it.
It may be included in the wear and tear items altho it's not listed, nor is it listed in what's not covered.
Would be interesting to hear what Infiniti has to say about it.

 

I think the cause of the damage needs to be determined. Secondly, there needs to be some established determination of what normal wear and tear is. The wrranty is designed to remedy faulty problems. If it can be reasonably shown that you have a faulty seat and the leather is wearing prematurely, then you might have case for a warranty claim.

 

Do it every 2months with Meguir's Gold Class Leather Conditioner. It will make the seat look like no one has ever sat in it.

 

Mine out the door 43,500.....Yea I consider mine a 40K car too...

Does the manual say anything about upholstery care?

 

Mine isnt cracking, it is like the left cheek area where you slide into has shifted over about 2 inches and has left a hideous blister that is very soft in that area. Everything else looks perfect and firm. I tried to give the leather a face lift by stuffing the extra in the plastic side panel near the door, but to no avail. I use Griots garage leather conditioner at least once a month. Im thinking that could be covered, but cracking no. I wish I had a digital camera handy to show.

 

Thanks for the post i just conditioned the **** outta my car only 3 months old better never to late to start!

 

here is a very bad image with my camera phone of the blistering. 1.2 mgp camera and cant take a picture inside. Anybody else have this problem? Im only 170 lbs.

lol, ill remember not to use that stuff..

 

Thanks for all your inputs guys.

I’m supposed to take her in for some other repairs and will bring this up with the service dept.
I’ll keep you guys posted.

 

So have we determined whats a good leather conditioner? SInce you've been using Zaino and it looks like that I'm not sure I wanna go with them. Is Lexol a better product? If so, where from? any auto store?

 

I HIGHLY doubt that Zaino is the culprit here. If it was the conditioner I would have had that problem all over the interior, including the steering wheel. Plus, I know a handful number of people who've been using it and none of them had a problem like that.

 

i use lexol leather cleaner and conditioner about every 3 months. my car has 15k miles on it rite now, and the leather seems to hold up fine.
im definitely taking it back to the dealership if mine starts cracking.
