Hi folks I wonder if you can give me some help re my driver's seat.
Couple of days after I got Leafy McLeaf Face I was fitting my plush new luxury floor mats (oh yes you betcha) when I noticed under the driver's seat quite a lot of foreign debris, which in hindsight looked suspiciously like chewed up seat foam. See below.
I didn't think much more of it but over the first two weeks of ownership I have found it really difficult to get comfortable in the driver's seat, it felt like something was sticking in my right hip bone. So yesterday I gently pulled forward the material on that side of the driver's seat and it reveals a quite aggressively positioned bolt. See the photo below. This is looking from above, front of the seat to the right of the photo, and at the bottom of the photo you can see the rake and height adjustment levers.
This bolt is chewing into the foam of the seat pan material and creating the debris underneath. As well as sticking into my leg. In fact what the photo doesn't show is that 2cm directly below the one shown is a second similar bolt which can't really be seen but can be felt when I carefully slide my finger down the side in the seat pan.
When I check the passenger seat (only this time of course the left hand side of the passenger seat nearest the door) there are no such bolts that I can feel. See below.
What I'm asking is would one or two of you be kind enough to have a feel around your seat (oo-er) and perhaps carefully pull back the material on the right side of the driver's seat for a look to see whether you too have these nasty looking bolts. Please be careful when poking around with your fingers, there are one or two sharp edges down there.
Many thanks in advance for help rendered.
