Default lower conrners of seats wearing out already??!!

the lower corners of both of my seats, where the seat meets the back, (but more so on the passenger side, strangely enough) are showing wear much earlier than anticipated. i have only had my car a few months now and already the leather in these corners is more brittle and not as smooth as the rest of the seat. I was wondering if this was a normal wear area due to the constant pressure pulling on that area when the seat or back is shifted. Any other experience with this, or recommendations on what to do to restore the leather to its original condition??

1. The S2000 leather is not the most durable leather ever (but is the most comfortable). 2. They make replacement seats and seat covers. 3. To keep your seats in reasonable condition, I would use saddle soap/conditioner about once a month. Armoral tends to dry out if you do not CONSTANTLY reaply, so I wouldn't recommend that. With the saddle soap, it will stay in a lot better condition, and crease less.
