Wrinkles in leather - replace?

[OptimusPrime]

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...

Thank you for your thoughts!

id leave it alone tbh, but theres no seat surgery they just take the cover off and put the new one on, any clips that could break are on the cover.

There was a recent thread on this too...

Seat cover wrinkles/Warranty issues...thoughts?

I’ve had my truck for 2 weeks and have only put 300 miles on it and i can already see the same wrinkling in my driver seat already. Are these being addressed or resolved at your dealerships? The leather on the seats seems very loose and softer. This is my first Raptor so I’m just...

What year and mileage? To be honest that looks like pretty normal wear to me, and not nearly as bad as some of the “loose” covers I’ve seen on here. I have an extreme aversion to any dealer touching my truck more than absolutely necessary. If it were me I’d probably leave it unless it bothers you so much you can’t enjoy the truck.

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

it’s leather, not plastic. it shouldn’t cause you more distress than the cow.

2023, new in October when I bought it, so not wear and tear. My 2012 seats did not exhibit any kind of wrinkle like these or the looseness in the linked thread.

It had better leather, hence the point of the thread focusing on G3's and the bad quality.
