Leather problems

Tried searching, couldnt find anything. Anyone else have a problem with the leather for the sport seats? The parts next to my waist area that protrude out, pretty much rub against my pants every single time i sit in the car. Because f this rubbing, i noticed a small tear in the leather. Anyone else have this problem? Also, if the problem becomes bigger, would the dealer replace under warranty?

I purposely lift my thigh or butt everytime i move in and out of the car in order to void making the wrinkles. I know, it's pretty stupid.

Oh and for the record, I do the same thing. Lol

Are you kidding? Get out of here.

I use paper bags over and over again and they don't get bubbles. Paper bags are way more durable

Seriously though, for groceries I put double all up all the paper bags and just reuse them everytime I go shopping. I hate plastic bags and they actually give you a discount for bringing your own bags (10 cents a bag haha)

yea my leather seats are ****. Honestly the most embarrassing thing when I open the door to my 40K+ car is when people see a huge bubbled imprint of my azz on the drivers seat.

Gotta love the butt bubble. I'm so sick of mine. I guess its time to see if I can get my cover replaced under warranty or something.

What do they replace? The whole cover of the seat? Just the bottom portion?

Does this include the foam?

The leather in the '10s feels different than the 2008s. Does your drivers seat look at all different compared to the passenger?

PICS!
