Pictures of your leather seat 'issues'
ok...just got home...here's the photo...guess it's more like a wrinkle than a bubble...
didn't drive the car today so it's been like that for a while and doesn't look like its going to go away

Fortunately I haven't had any issues with my seats. I think that a lot of it has to do with how the seats are initially treated- not that this sort of thing should ever be acceptable- but one you wear in a seat a certain way it tends to make that it's permanent mold.

I have the same dent in my seat. It was created from my wallet. My don't stand out as bad as yours though do to my stone interior. I am going to try some leather cleaner/conditioner on it to see if that helps.

Not the best pic in the world...but it's not a "dent" it is a raised lump (at least 1/2" high)...and there is nothing that I have done to create it...
I weigh about 150...don't drive with my wallet in my back pocket...and am verrrrry careful with this car...
even if I drove with my wallet it wouldn't matter....there's no money in there!!!...it's all going to the oil companies...
I've had many other cars with leather seats..and while they tend to wear, get small wrinkles, and get shiny in spots...nothing like this...I will be taking it to dealer and will post results....may be a while though...my dealer is a long way from my home...so not convenient.

I have a couple of visible dents from my boney a$$ (170lbs.) and I only have 1400 miles on my car. It doesn't look bad now, but I can imagine it getting worse quickly. It's almost like the foam underneath isn't stiff enough or doesn't rebound and the leather stretches too much. I'll be keeping an eye on it and conditioning it regularly (the seat, not my butt).

I had a dent in the back seat from the child car seat. The dent was there for a while until one day I parked in direct sun light. It magically disappeared when I came out from work. So try parking it in direct sun light and see what happens.

My seat has something like that too. See attached pics....
I don't know what to do about it though. I keep my wallet in my other pocket so I know it's not that. Also, since the seats are so expensive to replace I am sure the dealership will give me trouble....
Has anyone had their seats replaced because of an issue like this?
