Mine was wrinkled, but if you stretched it out you could see the cracking starting. I'd say have them look at it. Mine had no problem fixing it. He even went as far to saying that should of never happened.

mine was cracking to the point the gray would flake off and you could see white specs all over the place. They said it was common for GM vehicles. Is wheat the gray color?

For those of you getting it fixed under warranty, is your dealership using OEM leather seat covers from Hummer, or having them custom done by a local shop?

I'm asking because in my opinion, if they're getting OEM covers, they're just replacing crap leather with more crap leather. Both front seats on my truck look like dog**** after 30K miles (and I have them professionally cleaned and conditioned once a month with high-end products). I had my previous Tahoe's seats covered at the dealer (work done by a custom shop with good non-OEM leather), and they looked much better after 160K miles than my H2 seats look after 30K.

I'm getting ready for a dog fight with my service guy.

That's what I was using on my truck. Like I said every other seat looks okay. Just the driver seat was cracking. Mine isn't even a year old.

Ken call up the dealer. I'm sure they will take care of it. With mine it wasn't even a problem they looked at it and said "that should of never happened". As you can see by the pic's if they send it to a leather shop and don't use that crappy OEM stuff it will look better than new. Mine wasn't even that nice the day I bought it. Good luck.

Pete,

They sent mine off to have the work done at a custom shop. Guy said that was because they couldn't handle it there (dealer). I don't know if it's OEM or another kind of leather. I'll let you know when I get my truck back.

Sorta Gray. There is only the Wheat seats and the black seats out there.

[MovinH2]

Funny to note that it seems like only Wheat has these problems.

Well just picked my truck up from the dealer. They said they sent it out to a local leather shop and used real leather not the OEM replacement. Here are a few pic's. Looks great.

Driver side (redone):



Passenger side (like I said it wasn't bad at all but to compare):



And they did a nice detail job on it:


Now it's off to Duplicolor my side Steps.
