Car Forum / Acura Cars / March 20052005 TL - Piping on Leather seat showing wear after 2 months
The piping on the door side of the leather seat is already showing signs of wear, with the surface worn away in 3-4 places over a 2 inch area. I never wear clothing that could cause this. Anybody else seeing this? I'm planning to run it over to the dealer and complain.

My 2001 TL has crappy leather, too. I've never really liked leather seating in cars. Problem is, these days, that it's standard in most "upscale" models, and you're stuck with it.

I heard someone say it was possible to special order a BMW with cloth seaths (a common option in Europe, or so I've been told), but it almost requires talking directly to the factory. >> I've never really liked leather seating in cars.

It really should not wear that quickly, but if you get it fixed, I would use some mink oil or other treatment to keep it looking new. The leather on my '97 Integra still looks good, but I treat it regularly to keep it clean and pliable. Posted by the Rubber Dino.

As far as treating the leather, the car is new and I haven't even thought of that yet. I time I will. I actually like the leather seats. But, each to his/her own tastes and comforts. |
