Default Seat Wrinked

My 2014 premium plus, leased in July, has 8000 miles on the odo. This weekend I decided to give my car a through detailing, claybar, sealer, polish and interior clean. Exterior-oolong grey is gorgeous, but the front driver's seat looks like Kia produced it. There is a large wrinkle in the middle of the seat. Oddly enough, I saw exactly the same problem on a Hyundai Equus demo. I don't know what Audi will do about this and I am 1200 miles from my dealer until mid April. Incidentally, I don't drive long distances with a wallet in my back pocket and I'M 5'9"-170 pounds. Questions: Will Audi replace the seat cushion? Should I take the car to a Florida dealer or wait until I'm home in April? Any and all input appreciated.

2014 A6 Prestige and my driver seat is doing the same thing with only 6k miles on the clock.

A bit disappointed.

Mine too, under the right "cheek". I never have a wallet in my pocket. The seats are my biggest issue with the car. How come NA doesn't have access to the sport seats which are available in ROW?

Replacing the seat cushion would only be a temporary fix IMO.

Is this what we all speak of?

I had a wrinkled seat problem with my 2010 A6 and the dealer order new front seat leather covers from the factory and had them installed at a local upholstery shop that (at my request) added some additional padding. After that I had no problem.

I got the car with it, had 18k miles at the time. Interior and exterior were pristine (cannot stress pristine enough). Still bugs me but will bring it up at next service (fuel lines recall most likely)

Thank god I'm not the only one who has this!! Last time I was cleaning the inside of my car I noticed it and was bummed out, thinking it was just me. The picture from Pepe's post looks EXACTLY like my sport seats...thought it could be due to the previous owner driving with a wallet in his back pocket, but it sounds like that has nothing to do with it.

Had a similar problem. Seat began to harden, almost like a cardboard feeling. Audi replaced at 12k. Happened at 15.5k, refused to replace.
