Cracking or wrinkling?

Wrinkling is inevitable, cracking is not. Post a picture.

Have you done any cleaning or conditioning to the leather? If you goto Wash and Wax forum, there are great info on products that you can use. Hope this helps.

I don't have a problem with cracking, but the passenger seat is starting to peel.
Guess I'll have to take it in for that.

i would of posted pics but my camera isnt good enough to show it. but it looks like a PRUNE. its not a color fade or any of the sort it just looks like someoen took the door panel and scrunched it up in a ball then put it back on.

With only 6K miles and the DOOR panel wrinkling, I would not stop until Honda gets it fixed. No reason for that panel to wrinkle like that, period.
Cheers,
Daniel

absolutely must use a leather preservative on your seats or they will wear prematurely. should not be cracking yet, though.
i use this stuff on mine:

yeah i told the dealer.. if its after like 20-30k miles then i'm ok since i'l thin about replacing the seats anyway (which is what usually wears not the rest of the car) but its more of a pruney wrinkly thing going on my headrest and door panel so i was getting worried. thanks all! i'm ma try to talk to honda again.
