here is the $20 seat cover, after 10,000 miles it still holding up well, only slightly loose from the stretching, but i gotta say for $20 a pair it held up pretty well, i only cover the driver side so i could still admire the passenger side when i am driving alone (mostly alone anyway) and when people come sit in my car they can see the seat and don't need to see mine (hell i am driving anyway)
I'm sure the next owner will appreciate that.

No issues here. Solutions if you never want to see wear is don't ever sit in the seats. Better yet, get the fake Nuluxe - it will hold up much better over time.

Default Wrinkles in f sport red leather already?



I had a 2001 GS430, that leather never wrinkled! This car is two years old and already look at this. When I flatten the leather it goes away. Is there any way to fix this? I can imagine it will only get worse over time.

that doesn't look right. I'd take it in and have it evaluated. Seems beyond 'normal wear and tear'.

Did somebody (not you) stand on the seat to work on the roof? Waxing, repair, etc? Looks like more than just pressure from sitting.

I’m not sure since I just got the car last month but I’m going to take it in then. At first I thought they would tell me it’s just a wrinkle but your right for a two year old car that’s unacceptable wear!

Almost looks like tears. One reason I now prefer the Nuluxe. Much more durable.

Someone posted one time about having their seat ripped by a service tech sitting in it with a tool in their back pocket.

That seat for sure had more than a butt planted in it.

Definitely. Doesn’t take much. My ES had the semi-aniline leather, and I put a big scratch in the drivers seat just from wearing jeans with rivets on the pockets.

I just purchased an RX 350 fsport red interior end of April and I actually noticed some creases already on the driver seat. I feel bad that I missed to see that prior to me buying the car. I am hoping that it will not get worst and crack. I am a female, small framed so I’m hoping it won’t. Nevertheless, I still have warranty and I may be able to have the dealer fix it right. Any advice please?
