Seat bolster wear

[Tazzieman]

As noted in the saddle leather thread yesterday, the non leather seat option bolsters are subject to wear. Not sure if this is a potential warranty issue, and of course leather seats ate not immune.
You can see mine starting to let go, even though I try to launch myself up and over, like the Eastern European pole vaulter Upanova.
It seems to be a sort of thin neoprene layer over the foam.
If not a warranty item I will attempt to patch myself.
Check under your expensive seat covers if you have them, and even if not.

I checked mine today and have two small cracks as well. I’ll add it to the checklist for the dealer to address as potential warranty work the next visit.

And if they fix it, it will last the same amount of time , by which stage warranty will have expired.

This was a constant issue in my wife’s mercedes and damn near everyone in the neighborhood was having the same issue. Hopefully this gets addressed permanently.

Ditch the bolster.
