Had it in for an oil change today and brought it up. Their going to redo the leather. Can't beat a warranty.

I left my truck there to get the leather work done (they send it off) but I never took any pic's of what it looked like before. Pretty much it was just really bad wear lines with some of the area's starting to crack. The dealer said that should of never happened. Interesting to note that every other seat looks like new.

I had the same problem with mine...they replaced it under warranty...unfortunately, my seat now looks better than the others...almost a different type of leather....not as "shiny"

That sucks. Is it Wheat?

Humm, I think I'll get agrv8r and the Hall team to look at my driver's seat. It's the only thing that bothers me about the whole truck. It's wrinkled to heck.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[MovinH2]

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.
