C Class Seat Bolsters Marks

Hi Guys,

In the attached image is it normal to get line marks like that on the leather seats?

Cant say I’ve noticed them in other cars I’ve had until this one.

Thanks

Doesn't seem to match up with how I sit on the seat at all and doesn't appear on the other side bolster - bit weird.

Anyone else get "markings" like that on their seat?

Yes, mine has the same too. It's part of normal wear and tear I guess.

I'm just not sure how the mark is forming in the first place as the bolster doesn't stress in that way.

Any ideas how I can lesson the visual aspects of it or remove it?

I tried some leather cleaner product on the bolster but doesn't seem to make the mark fade.

Will see what other options there are and go from there.

If anyone else has any ideas I'm all for hearing them.

Wear on leather when the cars done 2500 miles and is 6 months old seems a bit excessive.

Leather cleaner won’t reduce what looks like a crease in the leather. Looks like the seat back bolster also has similar marks.

mine is just the same, likely due to the way the padding or structure of the seat is setup.

Leather wears and changes over time, one crease will be many in a few years, don’t be ocd about it, I used to be and it’s not a good road to take for mental health lol

Lol fair play I'll leave it be, I'm just surprised its starting to age 6 months in, no problem with leather ageing at all - just the speed.

But yeah agreed, will just let it be!

Thanks :-)
