Wrinkles in Leather Seats

[ShannonC]

Unfortunately, now I noticed some lines in the back seat armrest. Car has less than 800 miles, and rear seat has not been used yet. Wondering if I can maybe get out with steam so I don't have to make another trip to the dealership.

It's not uncommon if it's been left in the down position for sometime.

That would make sense, however I've only had the car a couple weeks and I haven't put the armrest down.

I got my first wrinkles in the driver seat the 2nd day after roundabout 100mls.
I am more than just disappointed especially if I compare it to my other cars - there the leather is, respective was by far not that sensitive.
I addressed this issue at the dealership - still waiting for some response.

I have no wrinkles in my seats yet. I hope all of yours do not get worse. A little off topic but I use Zaino Leather in a Bottle. A lot of the Corvette guys use it. Makes your leather seats smell and feel new. Smells like walking into a leather store at the mall. Zaino is an online product. I have been using it since the late 90's so their products have been around for a while.

I do work at a place that does auto upholstery and we will usually steam the wrinkles out of the leather.

I now have over 6k miles on my car and it'll be a year old in about seven weeks. The creases in the leather from when I bought my car new that I posted about last year are still there (obviously), but I have absolutely no new creases at all, which goes to show that the dealership obviously did not take care of it the best before I purchased it.

I did have a question though. Are all parts of the seats in the GT2s leather? Because the fronts of the side bolsters, the fronts of the head rests, the part of the seat where your upper back rests, and the back seats except for the center part of the seats all have a more glossy look and seem to be more are more of a harder vinyl like material. Has been like this since I puecha the car new, but it was a 2019 model that was on the lot for awhile. Just wanted to see if that's normal, or something wrong with the seats. I was going to go by the dealership to take a look at a new one for comparison.

No. Every Stinger model comes with leather trim as standard. "Trim" is the main seat; so the part that you notice is less shiny and "vinyl" looking is real leather.
