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?

For now live with it, but check with an auto upholstery shop.

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.

Is that very expensive or reasonable?

You have to check with the trim guy on costs. Prices vary and best done locally.

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