Recaro Leather Cracking

mikesnismo19 · 03-31-2019, 02:36 PM

Thanks OP for posting this. My 2019 Nismo is starting to do this on the drivers side in the same place. Im going to treat the leather more often, hoping it doesnt get worse. I would say this is a result of poor quality. I installed some katzkin leather seats in my tacoma 6 years ago and they havent shown any wear like these seats. I condition them once a year.

mine is cracking on the left bolster just like in one of the pics on the previous page

cheap sh!t

i ended up putting skidmore's leather treatment on it and it looks somewhat decent when it's lubricated but i just gave up on it at this point

The best thing to do to help prevent this is to not slide down in the seat. Sit on the seat without hitting the bolster and then swing your legs around. This happens on Corvette's also. It's nothing new. Make sure you don't have stuff in your back pockets. Take your bill fold out if you have one.
