Tim, you have Kansas leather, this is cow leather and it does need feeding now and then. I have nappa (lamb) leather and this does not need feeding in the same way due to the way the leather is treated and sealed. Treatin it like cow leather can ruin it. I've spoken with a few leather specialist about it and there are more dos and donts with nappa. This wear is a bit on the crap side though and I'd hoped for better.

Know what your saying, the problem with using normal leather preservers on nappa is it can leave a waxy residue, something like Leatherique would be better but it can a bit pricey.

interesting but how does it attach to the seatbelt housing to allow the belt to feed through it?
or do you have to constantly move it?

It just wraps around the belt and I keep it at its highest point when I'm belted up, depending on how close or far away from the steering wheel you sit the belt can rub at the top edge of the seat,

Dealer had looked and said that the rear part of the seat leather cover will be replaced under warranty ONCE then it's down to the individual.
So at least it will be done for free but as its part of the pure white package there will be a wait to get a new cover
