Lean your seat all the way back prior to entering the vehicle. Put your right foot into the car and then aim for your butt to land at the very front of the seat. Now bring your left foot into the vehicle. It is okay to hold the steering wheel the entire time unless you don't want to wear that out to. Now, gently squirm backwards taking special care not to slide or you will cause excessive wear on the seat. Once you are seated properly then lean the seat back to your normal driving position. Take extra care when putting on your seat belt as the sliding of the belt will cause micro-tears in the fabric. Use the opposite sequence when exiting the vehicle. :icon17:

May help those with aftermarket seats

6562 is pretty cute with nicely toned calves! Excuse me back on topic, don't sweat the wear and tear just enjoy the car for what it is;)

From ásshole
To hitting on the poor guy, LOL
(Oh, and she works out like 8 days a week, so don't get TOO weirded out from her comments, although I didn't know she was a leg girl, LOL!!!)

It costs $100~ to replace the piece that wears out
Just enjoy it and destroy it! :tup:

I deserve reps for hitting on the cute dude, I couldn't help it LOL...

Out of all the vehicles I have driven my Z is the only one that I have ever felt like a grandpa getting out of. Granted it's slightly lowered but I have to pull myself out and off the ground using the door and steering wheel to not feel like I am destroying the bolster. Granted I am a driver and don't mind putting miles on all my vehicles (500 a week) and everything is replaceable.. except of course one thing- all of the fun times I would have never had if my toys just sat in the garage. The less I worry about the small stuff the more I have enjoyed the experience.

Thanks, I work out about 3-4 days a week. The calves are from running :)

Keep your keys in a shirt pocket and your gun in your right waistband. Those are the items that really scuff and tear when they catch on the seat material.

i have the cloth seats, no wear yet. but the underside of my steering wheel is wearing where i occasionally rub against it when getting in/out of the car.

do more marathon running instead of driving. kill 2 birds with one stone. actually more cause youre saving fuel and $$$ and environment, and other folks from getting hit.

That's true! DWA ain't easy :D. (Driving While Asian)

I work out 5-6 days a week. U may ask why this matters. Because when u are more able to easily maneuver yourself in and out of the car, it makes a HUGE difference. Its more work for me, but i never sit on the bolsters. Just aim for the middle, and park it. (also... That sentence applies to other "flexible" life activities, guys)... Giggitty

... But no joke.. That's the key to no bolster wear. Be careful when getting in and out.

This is a great thread!
