Sonus Faber peeling leather

Hi
I recently bought a pair of SF Lilium, BNIB, and upon unpacking, found that the leather had started to peel. The dealer took them back. The dealer is having it re- wrapped but I was wondering if anyone has done this properly (not just sticking another layer over it) or does it have to go back to the factory to be done properly?
Thanks

@OP,
That is a sad way to be introduced to a new speaker.
I think the advice tablejockey gave is appropriate.
If Sonus Faber is reluctant, I would get my money back.

As the leather has no impact upon sound reproduction, and if SF is refurbing them, why not buy them back?-especially if you got a good price.

That last pic was pretty bad. 
If the dealer is having Sonus Faber replace the leather, I would not be concerned-Especially, if they can insure the rest of the speaker is working as it should.
 If an outside party is doing the work, I might be inclined to take a pass.
