After all that has been written, It has all finally ended well for me; it took three months. Ford first denied my replacement claim, but my dealership pressured them into replacing ALL leather seat covers in my truck. The dealership did not perform the work, but sent the truck to an upholstery shop. I had a long conversation with the installer. What I learned is HEAT is vital to remove wrinkles and slop. Example: One of the removed and refurbished seats was sitting on the floor in the sun. There were some visible wrinkles. As we spoke, maybe fifteen minutes time, the wrinkles disappeared. He stated that the fix is permanent, there is no memory in the leather. He also cautioned me on using a heat gun, it could cause damage. On a hot day, maybe 100*, set the truck in the sun with all the windows closed. This may accomplish slop and wrinkle removal. This was my experience, hope it helps.
