G Black Leather crack repair?
i just got my G, its a 2010 model, I love it but the front passenger seat has these creases on the right side and even though my passengers will barely notice, it still bugs the crap out of me. Anyone know a repiar kit or anything that'll "make it go away" (for lack of a better phrase)?

. I condition the leather once a month (I just did it today too).

Fully possible. Even someone lighter than 110lb can cause the seat wrinkles. Seriously.
@OP - Try keeping people out of the passenger seat for a while and it may smooth out on its own. Take it to the dealer and get it completely replaced if you don't want to bother. They warrantied my driver seat once already and I might take it in again. They may ask for digital photos so it may be to your advantage to have them ready to send to the service manager. And when you take them it may also be to your advantage to use lighting effectively to make the creases look worse.

Driver seat had about 4 moderate wrinkles from left to right and a bubble because I've left my wallet in my pants a few times on accident.
Passenger seat is okay... usually fixes itself overnight, but I think if a heavier person sat in it, it'd have the same problem.

You never know until you try. I've had several cars with leather seats and never seen it crack or crease until well over 5 years. Bull**** your way through a replacement if you have to.

Not really, but perception is everything. If they perceive you're not going to buy into their natural wear and tear bull****, then you've got a better chance of getting it replaced. Act like you know what you're talking about even if you don't. I've personally never seen a car do this in about 10 years of owning cars with leather seats, and that's what I told the service manager. Even if you can't claim the same, I'd say something along these lines.
