Hi ;
My Gen 3 is now 5 weeks old.
In the last few days a very noticeable crease has appeared in the Driver's side seat bolster.
None of the other seats show any at all.
I have attached a photo and invite comments.
The Porsche sales guy (who has seen the photo) thinks it is quite normal. As I am not so sure this is my first step to see if it is a flaw.
It is about 4 " long .

The addition of "character" that comes with the use of leather seats. I would keep quiet or "Porsche" might want to charge you extra for the bonus of its early arrival. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It appears you have the start of a few others to the right. I'm no expert far from it, but to me the leather has become baggy and possibly needs to be re-stretched.

I don’t have my Macan yet, but my 5 year old, 52000 Mile Merc all full leather has nothing like this. I’d be taking it back.

^^^^ I agree, my 2 year old Macan, with the same leather seats, don’t show any signs of creasing.

Same here. Do you have any unusual physical attributes oilman? We'll take you word, no need to post pictures of your posterior!

There's a thought, my eldest brother used to suffer from sciatica which was miraculously cured when he started keeping his wallet elsewhere. Must add, money wasn't the issue just plastic detritus!
