Its called caring for your leather. Put some leather treatment on there to soften those babies up and keep them from cracking. The only way you're going to get the cracks out is to replace the leather.

i put meguiars sorry if thats not the correct spelling but i used the stuff that looks like shaving cream and the seats still cracked, wonder if it had anything to do with me not driving the car and letting my one friend who is fatter than me drive it and maybe his big *** stretched the leather ?? just a thought

Its from sitting in the seat and causing it to wrinkle in the same place each time you sit on it.

Exactly........
I took real good care of my leather and still got those cracks. I remember telling my wife (a few years ago) that in a couple years, that wrinkle will be a tear. There was nothing I could do. I massaged the hell out it, but the wrinkle would no soften up, or go away. Now it's a tear.

I bought some replacement covers from Leatherseats.com for $860 out the door with embroidered headrest and im very pleased, better quality leather also.

I looked at the racing seats also but if you dont have at least a 10 second ride and a roll cage ect. it looks like rice. If your going to sport racing seats you better have the car to go with them....IMO

This stuff will soften up the leather just apply it and let it sit for a while. If it's cracked there isn't anything you can do short of replacing the leather
