Seat Creases

[Hg M75]

Just wondering if there is a way to remove the seat creases. My LX sport has creases mainly on the driver side on the seat bottom part closest to the door. Look for some tips and tricks from the experts here. I use Zaino leather in a bottle to condition them. They look good minus the creases.

Thanks.

Easy...don't sit in it.lol

Short of reupholstering, don't think you can remove creases from the seats.

Leather conditioner well help prevent creases but you probably can't get rid of them...ever.

Contact Roger Koh at LeatherDoctor.com, I talked to him about this for a while and he swears it will work and is known on the detail forums, but its not gonna be a $10 bottle of conditioner so prepare yourself to sink some money in.

They aren't creases, it's called "patina"

I have used these products, and they worked well on the cracks in my old Volvo and BMW. Very time consuming, but results were impressive. I don't know how they would work on American car leather, as I have only used them on Foreign cars.

I use leatherique on mine and IMO it is no better than an OTC on my MM or on my 4runner. I don't know if the MM leather is clear coated, if so that will make a big difference in ease of removal.

Pretty sure they are coated.

The leather is creasing as the cushion underneath is worn/squished. If you were to add to the material under the leather cover it would tighten and remove some of the crease.

Normal wear and tear....nothing last forever but we all want the best for Rauders!

Thanks for all the replies, especially the helpful ones. :cool4: The leatherdoctor site is down I'll check on that later.

Interesting note about the cushions. I know for the CVPI there is a seat repair kit that includes a new bottom cushion but that is for '02-. Anyone know of such a kit for the '03+?

the cushion for the Marauder is discontinued. CV cushions should be easy.

To replace the padding would the seat need to be removed or can I just unsnap the leather cover? I'd rather not remove the seat if I can avoid it, broken seat bolts suck.

Just use Zaino Leather in a Bottle on them and the leather won't crack or get any worse.

Plus it smells like new leather.

That is my question that I saw today, "BTW, just working on it":confused: the problem I see is, How does that bottom cover plastic strip which is attached to the leather bottom seat cover attach to metal frame? Thanks:)

Been using this stuff for 25 years.. The ****znit in leather softening agents.. It doesn't say it in the description, but you heat the bottle in hot water first, apply with a soft cloth to clean seats and wait a day or so. It will be gone but the leather will be softer than a freshly hatched turd..

It will soften hard and cracked leather.. I love this stuff!!

Man thing, leather smell. YAAAAAAAA
