Just keep them moisturized, or the will dry out and crack and fade.

Yea, most leather does alright with water, but if they do get wet try to dab them dry and treat them occasionally with conditioner so they don't get brittle.

i've got a 2010 with leather that gets rained on all the time. Every couple of months I give them a quick clean and condition with a leather upholstery cleaner and have not had a problem yet. They bake in the sun in SC with the top off in the driveway all the time too.

FYI--the seats are only partially leather.

Now that's funny. Do they have a "do not resuscitate" order? If not, I wonder if some atropine and cardioversion would help with that circulation problem. I can't wait to tell my patients this one
