Hey guys,I noticed that my leather seats are getting, well the picture says it all.I have the car for about 18 months and i drive it rarely ( only have 6K miles on it).



Is this normal? Could i ask the dealer to fix my seats or is there a product that I could get to fix the seats?

thx in advance

some other folks complained about this too ...... happens more quickly if you use the butt warmer ... Best thing to do is probably keep your seats from getting too much sun (stretches), use leather conditioners may help

Make sure you take care of your interior just like how you would take care of your exterior. Once in a while, clean the leather and condition it to protect, moisturize, and restore the natural properties of your leather. Proper care will keep your leather lasting longer and looking better. Good way to reduce early stretching and creasing is when you enter/exit your car, try not to slide and twist a lot on your seat.

same thing with mine....the driver seat looks exactly the same.....i think its just from the way the person sits in the seat.....for me....i sit like a G....so maybe thats why its all wrinkly n worn out.....maybe if we were to sit properly in the seat..lol..9 inches away from the stearing wheel then maybe it wuldnt do that??? who knows...the leather that nissan uses isnt even that high quality........oh well

Original poster, do you have your wallet in your back right pocket? Because that I think is the most logical explanation. I always take my wallet out before I get in the car. The benefit is two fold, your wallet doesn't wear out as fast and you dont get that ugly a** warping on your seat!
