My 3rd seat base covering on the drivers seat seems to be standing up well at the moment. Less creasing and no sign of the leather skin peeling. The 2nd seat base covering on the passenger seat is ok too.
I do not think it was just the sports contour seat design, although it would not help. I would say there was an issue with the leather quality itself as the peeling was happening even with low usage and care on mine. Maybe the batch used for the sports contour seat base, but I am guessing. There was very little take up on the sports contour seat option so I am wondering if they made a batch and I ended up with this bad batch twice on the drivers seat.
I would suspect Volvo were a bit more knowledgeable on this than they were declaring at the time.
