2001 E430 Leather

I have a 2001 E430 Sport with light tan leather interior. The drivers seat leather seems terrible. Any known problems I should discuss with the dealer? Any other suggestions ?

The drivers seat looks worn or discolored over a large area in the upright section and the bolster. I see a small crack starting in the bolster area!

This car has 12,000 miles on it, and spends most of its time out of the sun in a garage. I also had a 1997 E320, same tan interior, 30k miles when I sold it, and the leather looked like new.

Leather in both cars treated regularly with Zymol leather treatment.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, Lou

Sorry but I am not too familiar with Zymol leather treatment. But I am familiar with Leatherique. The Rejuvinator Oil and Prestine Clean is one of the best leather restoration and maintenance products that I have even used. I highly recommend their products. Do a seach on Leatherique for testimonials of these products in this forum. You should also post this thread in the Detailing section of this forum for some more feedback.

2002 has no problem with leather. 16k miles and most of time not garaged and leather looks like new.
