Recaro Seats not holding up too well.

[luc13fr]

I’ve had my car 6 months now. Has been in storage or covered when not in storage. Also have 5% tint on the back windows. Car barely hit 3500 miles. And these seats look horrible. What do y’all think? Thanks

Looks fine to me. Have you used any type of leather conditioner? That might be helpful.

It’s getting some imperfections, and not to mention, the race leather on the rear seats is like it’s been in the sun 10 years. Very textured. I use a leather serum and protector from chemical guys.

Leather can take on a drab appearance as it ages. There are many grades of leather, this not being the best. Have the dealer warranty replace them?

How heavy are you?

I’m going to dealer tomorrow to speak with service manager. Thanks! Just wondering if anyone had experience with them!

190lbs. The issues aren’t where I’m sitting. The back seats are untouched. No one has sat in them, and they’re In the worst shape! Imperfections are on the backs of front seats

For what? TBH I can't see anything wrong with the seats except maybe some spots near the "Recaro" lettering on the fronts. Can't see anything on the rears. But other than that they look pretty okay to me. Maybe I'm just missing it, but hard to imagine a dealer replacing seat covers unless there was a serious issue or defect.

For me personally, better photos are needed. With the current photos, hard to tell there is an issue, of sorts...

It’s not too difficult to see in the pictures. The area in green has gotten as smooth as paper. Not textured like leather should be and 99% of the rest of the seat is. Areas in red are to show the front seat to back seats. One leather(fronts) is smooth racing leather, the other(Backs) is porous like a sponge. The area circled in black has gotten tight and stretched the leather to the point where it no longer goes into the seat, it sticks out and has made the stitch line completely crooked. Maybe I’m being to picky. But when you have the top model 51k sticker price, this shouldn’t be happening. Just my view. Dealership tomorrow

Ah, got it.

I should have marked and explained from the beginning my bad lol

The back seats looks dried out? The bottoms looks almost a lighter tone and rough?

 

[luc13fr]

Exactly! Front and back seats are like night and day!

Just a thought, I've seen sunscreen do that kind of damage to leather.
