Sport Seat Side Bolsters not holding position

samsamwu · 03-16-2010, 04:29 PM

just like the title says when adjust the side bolsters just how i like them in a couple days they loosen (go wider) and no i dont have the seat memory seats to automatically move when i use a different key, and no one else drives my car
and no i am not loosing weight, i got 6pack abs, but maybe this is the problem i set the bolsters so tight that these fat american spec'd seats dont like to be that tight??
Anyone else have this problem? Since this takes a couple days to see, every SA will say its not reproducible

I say measure the distance between them when you set it for yourself, and then measure it in a couple of days. I know when I adjusted them, it felt really tight against my body, but I just ended up getting used to the feeling and would adjust them more.

I think the bolsters are adjusted via air pressure (correct me if I'm wrong), so yours could have a tiny leak in the bladders and deflate after a couple of days.
