leather seats

Sounds like a manufacturing issue to me. 25K on my seat and I've got 90lbs on you. It's a little warn smooth in all the logical spots but it's in great shape. No stretching. It had zero treatments. Nothing but a damp papertowel on the coffee stains.

In '04 the sport came only with cloth otherwise I would have loaded up that model. If you do have a dealer leather job, that might explain the problem.

1- I drive with the seat heater turned on too much
2- I move around in the seat too much
3- I don't sit "carefully" on the seat
4- I weigh too much (ha ha- I am an athletic 140 lbs)

They then told me they were going to do nothing about it.

Fock Toyota!

Went to get my car today and as I was pulling into the dealership, I got a call from the service manager. he told me that my car was not going to be done, because they were installing new leather seats in my car. I said "seats"?!? He told me they got a new driver seat in and the color didn't match the others, so they were putting a new passenger seat in and also a new back seat in. I went back a few hours later and got the car, and it looks awesome! All of the seats are brand new, even the ones that I have never sat on (the back bench and the passenger front). I was quite surprised...
