Default Leather seats already cracking

While letting the motor cool down to give it a good wash and wax, i figured i'd clean the insides of the car out.. I got to cleaning the seats and noticed my driverside seat is already cracking.. I'v not even got 13,500 miles on it.. Has anyone else had this problem?? Guess this means i need to go ahead and get some seat covers before it gets any worse.. UUGGHHH!!

Is it wrinkles in the leather or actual cracks in the material? Mine has a few wrinkles but no cracks.

What do you use to clean it and how often do you do it?

Ouch!!!

6000 miles in on an '06 - and I live in the desert - and no cracking on mine!

Should I count myself lucky?
