Dynamic Perforated leather durability

Hi,

I saw in my friend's evoque after 4 months of ownership, the perforated leather of the driver's seat was wearing out. ie the leather was getting fibrous.

Since I drive to work everyday, I'm a bit concerned the perforated leather is not that durable so I am thinking of investing in a car seat cover. However, it will spoil the look of the interior.

I do have the GTechniq leather protection - not sure if it will help.

Has anyone experienced something similar with the Dynamic perforated leather?

Thanks,

This is common on the Dynamic seats and has been discussed on here before, apparently it is not the leather deteriorating but some sort of material inside the seat.

So for now, I for one am not worried about it. GTechniq treatment applied to mine a couple of days after delivery.

Yes the little white fibers were present on both my front seats (probably in back too but not looked!), but has stopped on the driver seat, still a little appears on the passengers, so I think it's just the trimmings from the perforations, and not a problem.

Bit disappointing that in a £40k plus car they can't put something in to prevent that.

I think it wasn't the fibers in the seat that was coming through the holes of the perforated leather but the leather itself due to too much rubbing against it from getting in and out of the car? Maybe he wasnt careful when entering and exiting the car as you should lift yourself out if the seat rather than slide of it?

Haven't yet experienced this with my perforated leather seats, but then again my car's only 6 months old....

I had this but put it down to the vacuum pulling them through. They seemed to drop of eventually

I can't see that making any difference as that is really a protector against dirt etc. Wear is wear and unless the seat has a physical layer of something over it it will wear eventually.

LR has the water proof cover for our seats but it ruins the look of the leather seats

My passenger seat in standard dynamic trim, Drivers seat did this initially but has long since stopped. No sign of wear yet after 8000 miles either, only treatment has been Meguires Gold Class Leather
