Driver's Seat Base Issue 2018 Model
« on: December 19, 2018, 03:54:54 pm »
Hi all
Long story short. Need a new seat base as some rivets were loose causing a rattling noise. Dealer will fix in January with a new seat base frame. Will be fixed under warranty as the car is only 2 months old.
The internet is a huge dumpster. You have to look hard to find anything useful.

Interesting. I find the drivers leather seat on my  SportNav very uncomfortable on the right side base.
There are many similar complaint on the US forum but not on here unless I've missed them

I find the right side of the seat a little awkward too, keep having to shuffle to get comfortable and I'm average size.

Anchorman, the right side of the driver's squab is digging into my hip. It's the raised portion of the seat at each side. Left side is OK but right side very uncomfortable.
The passenger seat seems OK so I am wondering if its because I 'lean' my right leg towards the accelerator when driving.
Mine is a SportNav so has sports seats. Should have gone for the more comfortable standard seat but can't get those heated!
