See the following:

Look for GT Leather Seat Upgrade on the list. Not sure about side airbags though (if you have them).

A good leather should wear or atleast show stretch marks. I tshouldn't fade or come apart but it should show signs of wear marks (lines in the leather that aren't worn thourgh the hide). A lot a manufatures add plastics and other foreign materials to their leather which keeps the stretch marks from showing. I don't know if FORD seats are quality or not since I don't have them and I don't know how yours are wearing out.

mine the padding underneath is not able to support anymore. I am only 5'8" and 165 lbs so it isn't because I am too heavy. Both my Eddie Bauer Expeditions were the same way as well. My Mustang has the color wearing off / fading out on the side were the seatbelt comes across at the door open side. They are not holding the shape or wearing well in my opinion.

Also the stitching is done with the same color as the insert for a more custom look.

Can u give me a link ? Im thinking about redoing my leather ones. Id like to see yours
