Loud leather seats- too much rubbage even after conditioning, 2x with passenger! Fix?
I don't always realize how annoying it is until I take a passenger along. I've done an application of leather conditioner to no avail. Still loud-squishy. Tips?

More Description.
I am not sure how it is loud.. Loud when you first sit in it? Or while sitting? Or other. Surely you not scrunching around too much up there on those straight roads.
Is the leather cracking? Or are the seats just getting worn on the surface which might cause some chafing? Or do the seats need rebuilt?
If the seats are squishy then maybe just have the foam under the leather repalced or augmented. That is if the leather is still in good shape.

Rotfl, I don't keep up with my own threads at my own peril! And I should have been more specific. Y'know, I think the inserts may be vinyl... leather outers. That was done OE wasn't it? It's just that typical rubbing sound you can imagine and it seems to come from the surface material or within the crevases, usually regardless of pants material. Wondering if there's any conditioner for either leather/vinyl since it may be a mix, that would soften the seat surfaces up more. They're in great shape for 25+ years with no cracks and I'd obviously like to keep them that way. P.s.: definitely not fat, ha.
I'm surprised this thread hasn't degenerated further actually.

Did you find the seat volume ****??? Try Griot Leather Rejuvenator. Put it on with your hand as heavy as you can (heat from hand helps it penetrate) then let it sit for a couple of days then wipe off excess
