Driver side seat

Anyone knows best and safest way to prevent those driver side leather cracking?
mine is showing some symptoms on the edge of it.

Thanks

Seat covers (but who wants to cover their leather)
Properly clean it and get any dirt out of the cracks and apply leather conditioner. The oils in the leather conditioner will prolong the appearance and life of the leather.
Try Lexol or Meguiars or many other on the market there are to choose from.

I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner every six months. Used on my TL-S for years and never had the cracking issue.

It's gonna happen a bit, but you can prolong the inevitable by conditioning the leather on a regular basis.
The Lexol products are excellent

The best thing no question is to keep up with your cleaner and conditioner. However, like everyone has already stated it is to prolong the cracking not to prevent it.

It will always show some creasing, but like others have said, keep leather conditioner on it and it should not crack. Crease yes, but crack, no. I use lexol and Zaino Leather in a Bottle.

I only use that on my interior plastics and what not.
For leather, I stick to the Lexol stuff.

Better off to use the 303 on rubber, plastic and vinyl but use leather conditioners for the seats. JMO
