Default does your leather look like this? help

background info

04 with 15k on the od

i brought it into honda because the left thigh bolster was broken and the metal frame was hitting my leg. they ordered a new foam and replaced it and reused the orginal leather. when i picked up the car i noticed the leather is loose in the back. i told them to check if its pulled tight.

so yesterday they checked and they said its normal. they said its the seat i sit in all the time. but if deffinately wasnt like this when i brought it in. so the assitant service manage said we can order u a new skin but i dont think it will fix it. i told them i will look at a few others and let them know

does your seat look like this?

Keep in mind this pic was also taken right after a long ride - the leather will get even tighter as it cools down and goes back to it's normal shape...

It looks to me like whoever was installing the seat cover was kneeling on your seat while reaching around to the back of it.. That would stretch out the leather on that spot and damage it. Your dealer better replace it at their cost if they know what's good for them.
