When I don't drive my car for a couple days the so called "Bubbles" go away no problem. Does anyone have a picture of their stone interior? I have noticed little bumps that form on the thighs of the seats.

EDIT: I cannoot change the question. Could one of you super nice mod's do it for me?
I changed the question but are you all sure this is only happening to those with Sport seats? I've not had any problems with mine.

Btw, for those of you who do have these problems, have you contacted your dealers, what are they saying? Are they going to fixed it? What do they say is the 'cause'?

Actually the stretch mark is there too on the right passenger seat after a person sits there but it is gone after awhile.

Since most of the pictures show the wrinkles/marks are on the right half, I am suspecting this is caused by the way we drive/sit in general since the gas pedal is on the right side so we tend to put more weight/pressure on that part of the seat.

May be we should mention it to the dealer and have them replace/fix it later (maybe after 2009 model comes out) so that they might have a real fix by then.
Mine is actually on the left side, which is the pocket I put my wallet in (left handed).

My car only has 200 miles on it and has this. I personally never drive with my wallet in my pocket, and didn't on the G35 either because it was uncomfortable with it in.

As described, bubble looking spot in the seat on the right side. Haven't called the dealer yet, but will now.

you can wear those ski/snowboarding underwear that has padding in them. Or better yet, go to the women lingerie department and get a set of those butt lifter panties, it should be more comfortable.

I agree wih Majin - I weigh about 220 and seat looks fine at 3k miles...still clean and shiny...I admit I did use cleaner and conditioner and have been meticulous in sitting with nothing in my back pocket.
