Default Is this seat cracking?
I am looking to buy new/used seats for the T/A. All of the pictures look really good, but this driver's seat is concerning me. Is that cracking? Should I keep looking?

it's not even a full shot of the seats.... but from what I see that looks like a great set, assuming that the other chair looks the same or better. Once you own the seats just vacuum them, clean them, and then blast the heat in the car and massage leather conditioner onto them.. our factory leather is extremely thick and difficult to penetrate w/ conditioner, that's why I use heat to seep into the pores of the leather easier. And by doing this, you may be able to massage out most of the wrinkles and retard the growth of cracks in the leather.
