Drivers seat - Wearing out?
My lower seat bolster is getting very weak. It's the part you have to practically sit on as you get out of the car. This is obviously going to suffer but it's beginning to really p___ me off. Used to be it was like the left hand side one; that's still like Kylie's a$$ - tight, smooth and looks good. My right bolster is more like Lisa Riley's a$$ - soft, baggy, wrinked and not at all attractive.
Is this right. Do I complain?
Thanks

Best to post pictures really so others who've had successful warranty claims can compare for you.
I put autoglym leather care cream on every few weeks to stop it drying out and appearing cracked, not an ideal situation but maybe there's something better that doesn't cost

Probably all down to mounting/dismounting techniques - and your average journey length. Graham, I suspect you do a lot of short journeys, hence you get in/out more per 1000 miles than, for example, I do. Plus I am fit, slim, supple and lively, so I positively float into the car and spring out of it with minimal loading on the seat squab sides. (If you believe that you will believe that cheque I sent you too!)
