Leather seat issue (not the butt bubble)...

Anyone else have wrinkle marks on their left thigh bolster of the drivers seat?

I find that I have to kind of get over the bolster everytime I get out of the car, and crushing it while doing that seems to create wrinkles on the side.

I dont mind the wrinkles so much, I just worry it will start to crack or tear because of the "high" quality leather.

Is it just the way I sit? Ive tried playing with the seat settings but I always find myself rubbing across the bolster trying to get out.

Nice (well, not really) to hear its common.

Im not worried about the LOOK so much as Im worried that it might tear/wear through. Trying to pick a leather product for the car quickly. So far it looks like Leather Master might be the way to go.

keep the leather cleaned and condition and there wont be any tears as long as you're not rough with the leather, there will be wrinkles with any car just got to maintain it.
