on my passenger side door. Do you guys think that my dealer will fix it under my warranty? its all smooth on the drivers side door.

anybody elses leather wrinkled

thanks

 

Yeh, my leather is wrinkled on all 4 doors. Since it's on all 4 doors, I thought it was normal. If anyone has that simulated leather door trim smooth, please let us know, cause I'll have to get this fixed by the dealer then.

 

its wrinked on mine too.. and it is on most cars w/ leather I see.. so I think its normal

 

Thats partly why I cant get leather because it has that tendency and a tendency to look old faster.

 

have you tried lexol to clean and condition it? im obsessed and do it every 2 months.

 

umm yeah mine is all nice and clean and conditioned and ummm wrinkled.

If it was wrinkled on all four doors then i would think its normal, its only on one other door.

 

I lexol my seats every saturday.

 

hey man thats why i hate leather
it does look good first year but then it starts getting old just like my dads volvo
cloth interior is alot more better

 

maybe i'll just replace my leather with some nice volvo cloth

 

exact same way on my car, the driver side is all smooth, the passenger side is wrinkled. i dunno, i actually kinda like the wrinkled look, i think it looks upscale.

 

u dumbass ,i said that cloth interior is better
my dad's volvo has leather seats and now they suck ,its only 1 year old

 

Sorry, your 1st grade punctuation threw me for a twist.

 

this is the internet u dumb fukc
your probably some old fart who's on the net chatting with some young girls, u sick peverted bitsch

Actually stupido, i'm in my 20's and if you look back at my one post about your dads volvo, there was a smiley face next to what I wrote.

what, you can't read now?

 

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! sorry man

 

calm down people, its only the internet.

 

Er...do you mean actually wrinkled, or grain in the leather. My inserts have the grain (I think - currently don't have it handy), but it lies flat and smooth on all of the doors.

>>>>>EDIT
Doh! Sorry, I'm an idiot - I have aftermarket leather, so am probably not the best example of stock...<<<<<<<<

Regarding wear, I had leather in my '95, and over 138k the only wear I ever experienced was on one panel of the driver seat. Everything else still cleaned up like new.

 

by wrinkled, i was referring to little folds in the leather that extend the length of the panels...don't know if that's what he means, but i would think so

 

Yeh, I have these folds as well. It's not like wrinkles you'd get from lack of conditioning/care, but they look almost deliberate. I just don't remember how it was when I first purchased the car (only 5 months ago), and I've Lexol'ed once in that timeframe, so it's not like I haven't been keeping it up.

I hope someone has a definitive answer on whether it's supposed to be like this or not (it looks like it's an intentional look, but I'm not sure).

 

Sounds to me like you should go to the dealer to have them wrinkle your flat panel.

Lexol.... Hmm, I use Zymol leather cleaner and conditioner. Has anyone compared which is better/safer for leather? I have those light gray leather seats, and that driver seat looks shades darker than the passenger seats from use.

 

I'm gonna do that too.. its sooo worth it. lol

 

Hey vito, i hear ya about the "is it normal question" for the wrinkle or folds to be there. I mean it kinda just looks like they through on the leather any ol way then wanted.

My opinion is that they all should look the same, either wrinkled or nice and smooth.

when i bring my car in for rattling hood, air noise in back windows, then i'm going to ask them about the leather. i'm sure they'll just say oh its normal.

 

One other thing I thought about...The door leather is not real leather--it's "simulated" leather, so I don't think it can even wrinkle from lack of care, since this simulated leather doesn't contain any natural oils that regular leather would.

On the other hand, I Lexol'ed the car today, and noticed that some of these wrinkles are more pronounced than others. Not all 4 doors are the same (unlike what I thought prior to today). These wrinkles look like someone pulled this simulated leather too tight, and it caused these bends.

TREY, make sure to keep us updated if/when you take it to the dealer. Also, if they say it's normal, see if they have any other 02/03 Maximas w/leather, and take a peek at their door trim.

 

ok, will do

 

Oh, and yes its supposed to be folded like that. Just decoration...

Why don't all 4 doors have it the same way then mr.let-me-get-in-there-and-settle-the-issue????

 

This is actually my first car with leather so i have no idea

 

Cuz it's not an Infiniti! Don't call me stoooopid.


ARFF

 

I hope this helps, since our cars are very alike.

 

Yep, that's the folds/wrinkles that I have. Except some of the doors have it "worse" than others.

 

Mine are the same all around.

 

Mr. Settle-the-issue strikes again!


ARFF

 

you'd make a good teacher! no seriously, don't you notice it's hopeless. always going to be flame wars.

as for the leather, mine used to look fine but it started to wrinkle. i think that's partly due to the gay leathe cleaning thing i used. it actually cleans if you can dry it off!

 

I just hope mine stays like it is now and doesn't turn into that old, used saddle look...all old, dark, and cracked (like me). Hopefully, that only belongs to people who don't take care of their cars!


ARFF

 

wow, looks like one of those wrinkle dogs (pugs i think) Mine does look pretty similar to that, guess its pretty normal then

 

It does seem like the Infiniti has more wrinkles than the Nissan, but consider it a bonus... Each panel is individual, like a Rolls Royce
