So I tried using the search but didnt see anything so am i the only one who is curios about this or do i now know how to search. How does everyone get in and out of there Z. Getting in to the z doesnt seem as bad i just kinda drop myself into the car lol :ugh2: but getting out of the car i usually stick left leg out and use my left elbow on the seat bolster as leverage and push myself out :icon23:. I havent thought of any other way. i dont mind it i do it on a daily basis and its not like my car is slammed to the floor just on swift springs but i do kinda notice that it seems like my seat bolster is starting to show some wear.

I do not share this with just anyone, but I will here -- just to help.

1. Open the driver's door

2. Place your left hand, palm down, on the ground

3. Grasp the left side of the steering wheel with your right hand

4. Swing your right leg out of the car and settle on your right knee

5. Using the wheel and your right arm strength, pull yourself out of the seat

6. Roll onto the ground gently, settling on your bottom -- note that this requires a 360 degree roll

7. Pull yourself up to a standing position

With practice, this becomes a very fluid and efficient movement.

dont think there specific nissan dye but im sure an upholster would be able to give it a touch up. if not maybe leather seats.com has some dye i know a friend who bought some dye and re did his whole leather seats :ugh2:

Yeah, I think I'll just try an upholsterer. The trick is to get the same color (there are a lot of shades of black [and white] believe it or not).

A sunroof and an overhead crane would also work quite well! :)

What I do is, I grab a pair of trusty scratchless c-wire gloves, the ones with the staples in them, then when walking to my car, I make sure I get my feet wet, then walk on gravel, sand and dirt, mud if all possible, and broken glass. All, I do is open my door (while wearing gloves) place your right hand on and slide it across the top of the roof, then raise your right leg, and slide, making sure there is contact with your foot and the doors inner panels, and slide it across to the floor, making sure my foot remains in contact with every vinyl possible (remove floor mat if equipped before doing so) and place your foot on the floor. Now this is the most important part. ANy time you enter or exit your vehicle, make sure you rub your back on the point sholder of the seat before getting in, that is the most important part. So by the time if you do sell your car, theres a big gaping hole in the seat the next owner doesn't have to worry about screwing up. Ya'll make this too difficult.
