do you kick your wife to the curb when she sports a couple wrinkles?

Isn't the real, pertinent question does @Oldfart kick a wrinkly goat to the curb?

No. I just start smearing them with "Oil of Olay"!

Well then…. Here. You. Go. I feel like it would be best to drive naked, however, for full comfort.

My driver seat has some wrinkles in the leather since I purchased it in Oct. I brought it up with the dealer at the time and they said they'd fix it... Never heard anything about it until today when the dealer called and said they had the seat cover ready to go.

Question - do I replace it or not? I guess my main hesitation is whether it will match the rest of the interior. I can check of course, but other than that, is seat surgery likely to cause more issues than its worth?

Here is a picture with flash which accentuates the wrinkles more than the natural light picture below...

Check the dye lot a.k.a. ask to see the drivers seat cover before they install it on your Raptor. It seems like it'***** or miss with Ford Quality Control these days. Our 2023 Raptor has had "zero" issues or problems, plus the fact that I'm built like a larger sized linebacker, and we don't even have one (1) wrinkle on my drivers seat and we have almost 10k miles on it. I've driven and owned some German built vehicles: Porsche, Audi and BMW, every one of those that had leather seats in them, started wrinkling within a thousand (1000) miles of them, since they were new.

Let the dealership fix it before it gets too old or the dealership forgets about. I had the same issue with my 2024 801A and the dealership honored and fix it under warranty. Looks great now.
