this is natural for leather to do this, it will stretch just like your leather shoes. If they sewed it tighter to avoid stretch wrickles you would have more burst seams because its pulled too tight initially.

Just think, would you want to get rid of the ass print if it was made by Christina Aguilera?

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
I have had the same problem with the leather seats, they do stretched out in most cases.
Just, look at any test drive car in any magazine, all the seats need a "face lift".
My fabric-leather-sport seats are good.
If anyone is interested, the leather is not the same "buffalo quality" it was and will not be, if you don't pay hard.
I just hope this depression will bring out the quality back again, but I really doubt it.
