If this happens from the one guy that drove the car onto the boat then imagine how it will look after a few years of use.

Get some EdGuard bolster protectors.

... and the transport guy, and the dealer inventory guy, and the tech who did the PDI, and the detail guy, and the lot porter, and ...

Most of it looks pretty standard with the exception of the vertical scar.

On my last 911 they put the roof transport bars in the rear for shipping and it permanently dented the bolster in one spot. Still irritates me but I didn’t let it diminish the experience with the car. Best to let it go and drive it as hard as you can.

Or sit on the passenger seat until they match….

Hahahaha I ll follow your suggestions then.

First of all I will seat for a week in the passenger side.
Then i will iron all the shirts i have into my closet.

At the end I will bring the car to a detailer and i will buy bolsters protections.

Thanks all of you for your precious answers and suggestions.
And thanks to get the fun out of it as well!!

I have the 18-way seats, and have some creases near the head rest area on the driver seat. From what I have seen, creases in this area are not a rare occurrence with the sport seats. It has gotten a little worse with time, but I am living with it. They were there when the car was new, but I was not about to not take delivery of the vehicle after a 1 year wait. The dealer did contact Porsche and was told that they will not warranty this, as they consider it within spec for a natural material such a leather.

From what I have seen of the LWBS, these creases on the side bolsters are present on some seats from time to time, and Porsche will not replace these either.

I bet they put the class B leather there on purpose - I mean they can't just bin every piece that doesn't look perfect.

actually you'd be surprised when you do the factory tour they take you into the upholstery shop, they lay the hides out on a large table, and a specialist inspects the hide for imperfections and marks them out with a mouse, the cutting computer then figures out how best to "fit" all the required pieces into the remaining "good" hide and cuts it with a high pressure water jet (which I think also contains some abrasive) then the
"cutter" removes the pieces with a large "pizza paddle" to avoid contact with the leather itself ...

pretty cool ...

UncleDude

I blame the pizza paddle then!
