So i'm guessing since this was an issue in the previous gen, it won't do much if we complain to the dealer.

The funny thing is this seems to only happen to the driver side. Could it be the fact that the driver side has mechanics to adjust them, thereby making them weaker than the passenger side???

I want a new seat too or at least that part.. I think I will bring it up to the dealer.. It really bothers me.. I heard soft leather does it but it doesnt sound like its a normal problem.

I was thinking that too that it was something to do with the adjustment part..

Well I can confirm that I also am starting to see this stress Lines in the same area! And it's just that left side part too, everywhere else is fine! I also did the Zaino leather treatment, but still there So Now I try to get out of the car more carefully, by not putting my full weight on that Bolster, Hope it helps in the Long RUN!

I think the stress applied causes the leather to that over time. On a new leather seat it shouldn't do that to soon.

Umm, you guys should check out some other cars. They wrinkle much faster on the bolsters.

These are wrinkles and they are inevitable - on any car. As long as the leather doesn't crack, you are ok. It's one of those caveats with leather.

Wow, maybe I need to look at mine ALOT CLOSER... I think thats kinda a general characteristic of leather and probably not something that is going to get replaced, but goodluck in your efforts. If it bothers you, fight the battle.

ps- get the rest of us new grills!

Sorry guys, A coupe owner that has to chime in.

My original drivers side seat developed these heavy sag/creases on the left side bolster as well. This was less than a year in to my ownership.

I had my car in for service, and I mentioned it to my service writer. He took a look at the seat and told me it shouldn't happen, and ordered me a new leather seat bottom and foam cushion.

That was more than two years ago. The new seat cover and cushion is holding up 100 times better.....But, I'm a little more aware of how I plop my butt into the seat.......

I understand the natural creases/wrinkles leather develops over time, but this was a clear collapse of the foam cushion, which in turn caused the leather to fold and crease....
