Leather seat issue

Hooked For Life
The leather in the seat of my gf's Honda Accord appears to havestretched or come loose some how to the point that a "bubble" has formed in the center. I'm not sure if this is comonplace for this type of car's seats or if any product regimen could help improve it, the only thing I thought of maybe is Leatherique PC and RJ but not sure :confused: Has anyone tackeld anything like this before?

It’s an inescapable fact that leather stretches, and I know of no way to make it regain its original size. But, if anybody would know, it’s a shop that specializes in the repair of leather furniture.
 
Honda's leather isn't exactly great. My sister's 02 Accord is not wearing very well, there are creases and wrinkles all over the place and it's conditioned regularly.



In your picture, that part of the seat is supposed to have lots of folds. It looks as if it has flattened out a bit and the folds have formed into one or two big folds. I guess you could try to massage it out a bit but it'll probably just form the "bubble" again.
 
If you think Honda's leather is bad...than go take a look at Fords! Yikes...I will never get leather in a Ford again...11,000 miles/2003 Windstar...cracking already!
 
Nothing you can do with a product, I'm sorry to say. :( I've used Leatherique on Honda leather before and there seems to be very little improvement.
 
Ahhhhh the infamous butt crack bubble with leather seats:D It is quite incurable. I'm sure an upholstery shop could undo the seam and stretch then restitch ! Hey Nick GT thats pretty crappy about your leather, but my Mustang has 13,000 miles and had it about 2 years this November no cracking but I clean and apply Zaino leather treatment every couple of months:nixweiss ! I'd take it back to get it replaced under warranty!
