M2c seat wrinkles

twboy1999 · 08-26-2018, 09:37 PM

It seems like everyone that took delivery already have wrinkle on the seats?
The leather doesn’t seem that tight

On the og m2 the seat wrinkle so easily too

one thing you can do is apply heat to it every few weeks to straighten it all up, and once that stops being effective go to an upholsterer and put more padding into it

really not a big deal though

Where on the seat do you typically get this wrinkling?

This is non issue, dakota leather doesnt wrinkle

I think op just means its not wrapped tight enough

Awesome. I remember in the late 80s when fake fur seat covers were all the rage. Can't wait for that trend to come around again.

I actually did notice this in a few pictures. I was waiting for someone to take notice and start up a thread. I think there was another car but this post caught my eye.

You do want some give. If it were too tight it’ll be more prone to tears and ripping. Seems like an acceptable balance to me.

bri1042 · 08-28-2018, 01:46 PM

Eh, it's just your seat's way of saying it loves you.

Almost all coated leathers like Dakota sag on the seat pads as it's not as elastic due to the manufacturing process used to make the surface durable and once it stretches it doesn't go back to it's original shape perfectly. VW owners have the same issue with the Vienna leather in the Golf R. That said it's pretty minimal IMO and after the initial sagging it shouldn't get worse over time.
