Has anyone had issues with the leather peeling or tearing on their seats??? I've had my car 4 weeks today! I'm under 500 miles and I noticed yesterday that the leather is peeling at a seam on the driver seat. It's a small area right now, but I know the area will increase in size with use. I'm just wondering if this has been a common issue.

Peeling leather on driver seat

From this company.. Seat Covers Unlimited.
They have Velcro that loops under the seats.There is a lot of stuff under our seats so it takes a little bit of finessing. They come in three parts.Back, bottom and head rests.
The heated part of seats are so hot that the seat covers really don’t change anything. I have not tried out the cooling of the seats yet because i live in the Sub-Arctic. It only started to warm up this week.
Should be fine.

I have a 2020 ST and last week noticed the seams on the back of the driver's seat splitting and the very thin leather pulling apart. I immediately went to the dealer but being 600 miles out of warranty, they shrugged and said 'well you can call Ford and see what they will do.' Ford Customer Service said they would do nothing either. I have had this very expensive vehicle for less than 3 years. What a poor example of workmanship as well as customer service. Quite disappointed.
I noticed mine the other day too, right below my right shoulder on the backrest. I know I push or lean there getting in and out which causes more wear. I have 38K miles on mine. Honestly, when I got it back in late 2019, I didn't think the seats would wear as well as they have so far. I'll try to post a pic of mine and see if you can too. The seat still makes noise and creaks all the time. I'm used to that and had the broken side panel replaced under warranty last fall just before the 36 month warranty expired.
