well obviously conditioning them is a must, but the whole point of this thread is that they are faulty and need to be replaced for so many members.

This is the exact reason why all these automakers are putting pleather/vinyl in the cars because it is more "durable" for all of you that don't know how to take care of your seats or are too lazy to. I would much rather have this soft leather rather than sit in plastic.

It doesnt matter the thickness of the leather on whether or not it will scratch or crack. Go run your nail down a brand new high end leather jacket and tell me what happens. It will scratch, then you put leather conditioner on it and it goes away.

The only other material that I know of that looks/feels like leather would be lambskin but that would be way to expensive to put in all our G's and poor lambs.

The bubble is a fault, however, I never had that issue for some reason, dont know why.

But leather "peeling/scratching/cracking" is just lack of proper care and they wont replace it.

i think people with extra padding or have big thighs in general wont have the bubble issue. its guys / gals that have lean asses that i think have problems with.

Are you calling me fat?.......LOL. I think your theory is wrong because I am smaller than 98% of the owners on here. And I dont have a bubble butt.

Yeah, I don't have scratching or drying out issues, I have a larger stretch bump under where my right cheek goes, and I don't keep a wallet in my back pocket. That's the issue, scratches and lack of care is one thing but when a problem arises just from you sitting and driving a car that's a little lame.
