I didn't have any wear on my 66k miles one.
How many miles are we talking that the wear is noticable on?

Yep - I have got a small wear line in the same place on my seat David

As has already been suggested - a bit of leather treatment will cure it I s'pose - annoying though, isn't it?

yep they all do that in varying degrees, mine's got a wear line in the coloured leather finish running parallel with the seat edging. Some of us got ours replaced under warranty, same as the window switch pack - they went and did it again though...
