keeping the driver seat from wearing out.

JARblue · 04-08-2017, 04:18 AM

After 70K miles and 5 years of my fat a$$ (up to 250 lbs) getting in/out multiple times per day, I have done a number on my driver seat. But nothing is tearing or even starting to wear horribly. The side bolster has a few creases in the fabric, and the upper bolster is starting to show a little wear.

My biggest gripe is the foam around the side bolster has settled, so I now have what seems to be a thin, hard, plastic piece digging into my left a$$ cheek and thigh every time I take a hard right. Wondering if my warranty would cover it

My 40th only had 20,000 miles on it when it looked like the first picture. I did talk to the dealer about a warranty claim and they basically said

.

I did find a local shop that repaired the damaged area and now it looks like this (2nd picture)...not bad for $282.00!
