Hello,
I recently purchased a 2021 CPO car. I purchased sight unseen from Sewell Fort Worth. I was curious if anyone else has these seat imprints on their drivers cushion. They are not willing to repair. I have gotten quite the runaround about it.
I had same issue and had mine replaced under warranty. Pretty sure it happens when the seat gets wet (or at least that's what I suspect, plus I have a convertible and rain happens).
I have been shopping (hard) for a convertible and found these photos from a Lexus dealer in California. So it's either "normal" or "as designed" or this certified car did not get "fixed".

It's clearly a design flaw. And it will happen to all of them....but there is no remedy for it and it will just add to the character of used LCs.
interesting, my sport seats with the alcantara trim do not have these at all after 45000km or about 30000miles. i guess its another reason to take those over the full leather versions (when you have a choice, at least)
all in all not a major problem or we'd a heard more about it
one obvious unknown of course is the amount of poundage applied that made these impressions
we need a survey
Are the leather seats in the touring / base coupe different from the convertible leather seats? I know this is a non issue with the sport Alcantara seats.
Lou,
I did not know there was a distinction between the grade/type of leather used in the convertible versus the coupe. Presumably to meet the demands of outdoor weather exposure concerns I’d imagine.

coupe, convertible, alcantara, leather, smether gots nothin to do with it - its in the poundage man
the only thing to account for those lasting impressions is psi
