I had 18K on my 06 when I traded it on the 08 and I had some wrinkling on the seat but nothing peeling or as bad as what you have. I've gotten the same wrinkling on every avalanche that I've had (2 of them). I am hoping the leather in the 08 isnt suseptable to this. I've heard the same thing, they will replace the seats one time.

I think I'm going to take them up on the offer once I get close to the end of my warranty. Thanks....Jamie

Good luck boss, I saw it in person and its really bad folks. My 95 tahoe has 215,000 miles and its original leather has held up better.

Quick question... My 05 has just over 10k mile on it now... Seats still look fine, but this thread has me worried that the leather is going to crap out in 2 years... I bought my H2 used and purchased an aftermarket extended warranty (through a non-Hummer dealership). Would something like this typically be covered in that type warranty?

Did you buy warranty without knowing what it covers?????

Most likely will not be covered.

I do not know of any extended warranty that would cover seats as it is considered `wear and tear`. I have gmpp which I'm thinking is the most inclusive but it won't touch this. Good news is most don't look like mine and it is covered under your factory warranty. The other good news is if your seats crap out it gives you an excuse to do a sweet custom job.

The dealer is replacing mine at 24K miles. Drivers Only.

No problems from Dealer, complained and they ordered me a new cover.
