Even though I only have about 7,600 miles on my car, my seats are wearing. They are folding in on themselves. I mean they are creased. I am a rather big guy and that might have something to do with it. What can I do to prevent this getting any worse or even to restore it? Or Is it pretty much replace the seats or live with it?

Try a junk yard for replacements.

I do not think it is severe enough to need a junk yard replacement at this point.

I agree with hmac300 that I can live with it for now.

You can get an auto trimmer to re build the seat with heaver foam and more support, i have had this done for a few of my customers who have a similar issue.

Should not cost a lot, depending on time more than materials used, get a quote first.
