Picked up my Black G a couple weeks ago. Anyway, just got around to taking the pics below.

Looks like the leather on the drivers seat got stretched out somehow? I picked up the car in this condition.

My question is: Is it worth complaining about? What could even be done? What would you do?

Any help/comments/input is appreciated!

Here are the pics:

Yikes, that looks kinda bad. The problem is, it has been two weeks and the dealership could blame it on you. Put some quality leather conditioner on it and see if that helps.

 

My mother and father in law bought an FX45 a while ago and that happened on one of the seats. The dealership replaced the whole seat... no charge.

 

Yea, I've been trying to get in touch with my dealer for two weeks. Just found out he got fired 3 days after he sold me the car. (Must have been because I negotiated him too low <wink wink>)

Anyway, due to the fact that he got let go, they cannot blame it on me, as I left him countless voice mails.

I just got off the phone with another sales guy, and he said to stop by next week after the holidays and show the manager, which you bet your a** I'll do =)

 

Looks like thats what I will ask for.... It doesnt look like it be "fixed."

 

That will have to be replaced, it can't be fixed by the dealer. How could you not notice that when you inspected your new car at delivery???

 

Uh, cause I'm an idiot? Duh.

That in addition to the fact that it was at night, I was excited, and I was in a rush.

No excuse, but I am sure they'll take care of it. (fingers crossed)

I guess I need a new seat!

 

i have those marks on both sides on my driver seat. but i have 3 months on the seats

 

my back seat has a spot like that

 

Are y'all sure it's not because you have wallets in your back pockets?

Would that cause such wrinkles?

 

NEW SEAT. get new Seat. ask for new rear seats to and sell me your old ones. i need black

 

My drivers seat has that aswell... picked the car up in Oct. I wonder how many other members have this streched leather problem

 

Looks like dry leather. My wife's FX was like that when she bought it. She put Zaino leather conditioner on the spot, threw some cling wrap on top, let it sit overnight ("woundcare" technique from work, she's a physical therapist). The cling wrap should be in contact w/ the wet leather -- this forces the leather to absorb as much of the conditioner as possible rather than letting it "dry on top." She did this "treatment" about 3 or 4 nights in a row and the seat has never looked like that again. Dry leather will respond to stretching by forcing some crackly/wrinkly looking spots. Anytime it starts to look a little dry, it just needs a quick conditioning.... but obviously it is really really dry right now on your car.

Replacing the seat seems extreme and just asking for trouble... I like to keep as much of my car "assembled in Japan" as possible

My two cents

 

Too much weight...No more McDonalds for you for the rest of the month.






j/k, lol.

 

Did you have your wallet in ur right *** pocket by any chance? :P
The same thing kind of happened to mine. .(I think it was from me).. a 3hr drive home with my wallet creasing the seat is what I think did it.
