your right, the seats should'a been in recall.

after i leave my car parked in the sun while im at work, the heat "fixes" it, it stretch's back.

High quality leather furniture will not display the same bubbling effects that many of us are experiencing. I've had my leather sofa and chair for 5+ years now and no signs of bubbling whatsoever...just normal stretching of the leather is all.

Check out this thread as there is a ton of information here...

I bought my G new, 2 months ago, and already have the bubbling.

I was aware of this issue before I even bought the car. I tried taking precautions, never had my wallet in my pocket, etc. I'm 6', 175 pnds.

I had an '03 Passat with 159K and never had any seat problems. Doesn't sound kosher to me!!

You could take it to an upholstery shop. They can remove the leather, apply adhesive, then put it all back together.

Dealer will just replace the lower cushin.

The adhesive that hold the leather to the foam is weak. It fails and the leather lifts from the foam.

No the dealer does not put in a new seat, just the lower cushion

its just hard to understand that after driving with 815 miles on the car the seats would show a little wear in on the leather. i mean maybe the leather is suppose to wear it that way i dont know. After sitting on leather for awhile i doubt you can find a seat that looks brand new what do you guys think?
