I have a 2011 with about 14k miles and I noticed today that my driver's seat is developing a small hole in the leather in the perforated portion. I do not put things in my back pockets so it is not anything like that causing it. Is this just normal wear and tear? I have just ordered a seat cushion to put in my seat, but I am annoyed that I have to now sit on some lame cushion.

Mine is pretty worn down but no hole. Kinda sucks. Ever call Acura to see what a lower seat cover would cost? I'm sure it's not cheap but still.

I just bought a $13 black seat cushion on Amazon. It blends in and is fine I guess.

Have you thought of complaining to Acura? I would not expect any piece of leather to wear out in less than 1 year like that.

I am going to mention it the next time I bring it in for an oil change, which will be fairly soon.

My 2007 has wear and small holes on the outside side where the stitching is, but mine is years old. Sounds like a warranty deal.

I have an 07 that has wear on the drivers side, I don't want it to rip, is there anyone how has put a quality cover over the seat to prevent wear/damage? I don't like the idea that I need a cover but if it helps with the wear then I'm all for it. Thanks for the help.

Have to say I am quite disappointed with the quality of the leather seats in the TSX. My 09 has 86,000 kms (53,000 miles) on it and the driver seat looks pretty bad. I treat and clean the seats on a regular basis and i can't believe how worn they are. My previous car was a 2005 Altima V6 SE with leather and I had 200,000 kms (125,000 miles) when I traded it for the TSX and the seats still looked like the day the car was delivered to me. Even my wife's 09 Civic EX-L seats look much better than mine and she has more miles on t than the TSX.

I think the quality is lacking and I'm a bit surprised being an Acura.

I have a 2009 TSX (55,000 mi) and the leather on the side of the driver's seat is tearing and is very thin. What should I do? Can anything be done? I do not want to put a cover on it. It would look terrible.

i bought a used 2010 with 67,000mi and the leather still looks like brand new. i guess they're not consistent with the quality of materials they used (leather). i think if cleaners, protectants and conditioners cant help, the best bet we got are seat covers.
