Next Gen Seats Wear and Tear

[Indigogrimm]

2016 Model S next gen seats showing wear and tear with a little over 11,000 miles.

Apparently, I had the seat too far forward which caused my backside to run against the seat as I was getting in and out of the car. I've used a number of retail brand leather cleaners and conditioners to no avail.

What products would you recommend to restore the leather inside the seams? I heard the warranty covers the seats, would this be covered?

Thanks!

have you tried talking to service center about it? maybe they will replace it as premature wear since the car is only 1 year old.

Will do. I'll let you know what they come back with.

Just wondering what they said? Having a similar issue and the car is less than a year old.

I've got the same thing going on at about 1.5 years, 21K miles. Seems excessive.

@Indigogrimm @Rahul am curious if either of you were able to solve this. My car has the same thing.

When I stopped by the SC last year they said they won’t replace the seat, referred me to a leather repair specialist.

An alternative is you could dye it which would get rid of the discoloration but not the scuffing. I repaired my leather seats in a 93 Miata using supplies from Leather World Tech. It was easy and I was pleased with the results. That would also correct the scuffing. Top was the before and the bottom was after.
