RE: Leather Seats - Cracking/Wear
wow I'm starting to think you have some bad leather/vinyl...I weigh 280 the edge of the seat above the levers does cause it to crease like that a little. i condition mine maybe one every month and i havent had that issue..I would say take it to Ford it doesnt hurt. Could it be you are using too many products? anyone?

My sister has a 2005 Acura TL and her driver seat cracked and they replaced the seat cover for free. I doubt Ford would be willing to do the same considering they hate warranty work. I'll call my salesman and see if he can do something for me.

Why is anyoneeven bothering to try and help this idiot? 
Yes, taking the opinion of a moron is help!
cavediver, I would try that with the shoes but they're too far up your ***. Your opinion isn't wanted in this thread so it would be greatly appreciated if you would take your little red shoes and post elsewhere where you may actually read before you post.

They replaced mine at Jones Ford in North Charleston South Carolina. The top and bottom on the driver side. Now a little time later it's worn again. I use leather cleaners and one time used saddle soap and it changed colors. Had a local guy paint the seat for free. He said the damage wasn't enough for me to be charged. Good Luck. At least yours is black mine is parchment.

I'm really getting irritated by people not reading before posting... Whoever said use lexol products, take a look at one of my prior posts with the big picture.... Notice the two lexol bottles?

It has that big@$$ line down the side of the seat by the door and seems worn down!
Mine is a DD but only a few skinny girls have sat over there from time to time, and I only have 7,000 miles. Next time I take it in for oil and stuff i'm going to see what they can do about it under warranty, it's rediculous. I remember seeing someone with the same problem on this site a long time ago and it seems like his was replaced under warranty. I really don't think there is anything to do to fix it, except to get a new cover. [:@]
Good luck!

Yeah, it could have been you Daniel60, it probably was.
Oh yeah here's a cropped picture of mine when it only had about 4000 miles on it.
No leather conditioner would have stopped that with only 4k miles.
Its much worse now [:@]

RE: Leather Seats - Cracking/Wear
To me, what seems to be creasing is the NON-leather part of the seat. It looks like when he slides in, it forces a crease to happen on the vinyl part. I weigh much more than he does, (no, I'm not telling) and mine doesn't begin to look like that. Instead of sliding in. I use a more verticle approach and lower myself straight down kind of. I do condition the leather part, in fact all of the seat cover with a good leather conditioner.
