Seat problems....and not the typical its not comfy

[Vwright14]

So I test drove my first T4R today, a new 2014 SR5 ...not sure if premium or not but it did have Navi and running boards but cloth and no sunroof or KDSS...stickerd for like 37....they went down to 33,6XX without me even asking but whatever.... SO my issue was that with 250 miles on it the driver cloth seat already shows wear. Ive looked at a few pics of used one...both cloth and leather and most of the leather seats ont show this wear but just about every cloth one did...Ill post a pic below but wondered if there is a fix for it or does everyone just deal with it? If i couldnt find a used one with leather for the price I wanted, I had just planned on putting leather or leatherette seat covers over the front or back but this issue kinda bothers me. Even my horrible JKU seats,albeit the rock hard chrysler wanna be leather, isnt doint it that bad at 55k miles and 2 years old.



Some arent this bad but like I said just about every cloth one I see does this..
Heres one of the ones im considering looking at and even though it doesnt show the interior it has it as well.

Are you talking about the wrinkle on the left bolster? I wouldn't call that wear as much as people sliding over the bolster. My 4th gen has this because I usually just swing my legs out to hop out of the vehicle, there's no real damage to the fabric or seat so far.

I do see this a lot on SUVs/taller vehicles (though with leather they crack/tear a bit after a while and that becomes far more pronounced) that have more pronounced bolsters like the 4Runner does, its just from people sliding over it; I don't know if I'd consider it wear as much as the consequence of comfy seats in a tall vehicle (the foam isn't rock hard and has more give to it.)

Yeah I guess you're right...since the seats in my Jeep are just slab sided right there. Idk just kinda twerks my vehicular ocd lol

Mine started doing this within the first 1k miles. At first I was slightly pissed, buy 33k later and it looks the same. I'm thinking it's just the way the seat brakes in or something. I don't think anyone has actually worn through the seat fabric or anything.

It's more compression marks than wear. My '12 TE has it after 50K, my '10 SR5 had it after 66K and both had it after a few hundred miles.

If you had vehicle OCD why do you have a Jeep lol.

Lol because I'm crazy. I love getting it dirty but then I'll spend hours cleaning it back up. I once bought a 2000 grand Cherokee that was horribly taken care of as far as filthy and when I got done with detailing it the buddy I got it from wanted to buy it back for a more than I paid for it lol
During cleaning it I found a dime bag of weed that one of guys who owned it before two other buddies had lost like 4yrs prior. When asked about he said he thought he lost it in his parents driveway and spent 2 days looking for it in and outside of the jeep but couldn't find it.
