How bad is your driver seat?

On mine, after 2 days from delivery it already has few wrinkles on the side where you always slide your *** whenever you get on/off. Now, almost 3 months old I have alot of wrinkles. So now I try to pick my butt up everytime I enter or exit and Im getting tired.

I mean the bucket seats sinks too far down that I cant put my feet down on the ground without rolling over the side of the seat and im 6ft tall. Im skinny so Im pretty sure you big guys seats are torn up.

Well, I showed the wrinkles to the dealer the other day and asked what's going on? They replied when it starts to crack, just bring it back and they'll fix it. Well, here's hoping it cracks at 59,999 miles or 3 years, and 11 months

I have an 03 coupe, and I've had the wrinkles since a few months in also. There are some things you can do to slow the process down, like using rich leather cleaner/conditioners that bring some of the firmness back to the material. But in the end the wrinkling process is inevitable.

Just out of curiosity, do you have the light or dark interior? I have the graphite interior, and I think the wrinkling looks much worse than on the light interior. But I would never want the light interior anyway... :-)

Same.. 30k and the seats have lots of cracks.. more the drivers side than passenger.. I'm not a heavy person 5'9 at 150lbs.

I use leather cleaner\conditioner atleast once a month..

I've had Recaro's leather before and they have been flawless with no cracks or wrinkles.. also need to add they're more comfortable.

The sides I believe are vinyl anyways, so I'm not sure how much the leather conditioner will help, just happens to everyone I guess. Mine are only 3 weeks old and I have a bunch of wrinkles.
