Beyond Stretched Leather !

So it seems like everyone is having the same issue with stretched leater seats. Well mine took a turn for the worse, there is a dent, approximately the size and thickness of my index finger on my seat ! like wtf, where did that come from. Not only does the foam part permanently dented, but the leather on top contours to the dent. wierd !
ANYONE have the same problem ?
.and will this be covered under warranty.?

Is this true? I haven't had any problems with the leather so far.

I now take my wallet out of my back pocket and put it in a cupholder due to the dent it caused.

Man, sometimes I wonder how Infiniti made such a good car for such a good price. It's the little things like this that probably saved a bit of $, lol. Yes, I really own a G37 & I'm not trolling.

I'm not quite sure that implies you weren't happy to see me... more like you were happy but just, well, a "little" happy

Back on topic...

Is this really an issue? I mean, I've owned other cars and products with leather, and by it's very nature it will "stretch" and conform to a shape.

Also remember that these seats are more of a sport's style bucket than others and have a firmer configuration and may be more prone to stretching than others.

Anyway I haven't seen anything on mine that looks to be out of the ordinary although I've also started taking out my wallet due to the narrowness of the seat.
