Drivers seat leather rippling

[Brownw01]

Noticed my drivers seat bottom looks like this....

Have 1200 miles and had car for about 3 weeks.

The passenger seat is tight all the way throughout the bottom.

This is when I get to my car first thing in the am. Before even getting in.

Anyone else having similar issues?

And yes, many of us have similar issues. I likely won't do anything right away, if ever.

Just wondering how can they fix it?
Leather tends to stretch,as long as is it retracts to it's original shape.In your case it did not.
No enough padding?Leather too soft?

What do you want them to fix?

Leather isn't elastic, its going to exhibit some stretch as it wears. There is no way for a flat leather surface with foam underneath to stay taught when it repeatedly has the weight of a person placed on it.

The poster in that thread had a completely different issue. Look at the side bolster; it's wrinkled, it appears that the leather seat cover moved on the bolster.

Having the leather be slightly indented from a person sitting in the seat, like OP posted, is not a defect.

Try some leather conditioner keeping the leather soft and elastic.

Mine are just like this with the same # of miles.
The seats on my '03 G35 with 120K miles aren't wrinkled like this !!!!

haha vinyl will stay tight for its entire life, my expedition had 100k miles on it and it still looked tight but it dries out. real leather is going to stretch like that. If i remember correctly you can use a steamer and it will heat up and contract back into place

op do you keep a big wallet in your right pocket?

Back TTT for other leather seat owners

This is Ford's fault for using fat American cattle for the leather seats. Especially those cows that have an underlayer of vinyl.

Mine is doing the same thing. I just thought I was fat.
However, the original leather seats in my 1994 GT convertible don't have this issue.. hmm..
