cheaty seats :D

[Multiphonikks]

If like me, you've just moved, have sagging front seats and have just forked out a lot of money already for your car... (ok, so £8 isn't much but I'm going to wait till I have a larger parts order for the new straps)...

Got two old sofa cusions? - I don't mean seat cusions, I mean the ones you put ON the sofa behind your back or maybe on your favourite armchair


Yesterday I attacked the front seats, undoing the straps and putting a cusion between the foam and the seat straps. A perfect fit, and firm seats again!

Not a brilliant fix, but it's certainly more comfy now for a 400 mile round trip I have to make on friday...

A recent borrowed moggie had one of those wooden beaded covers - that made the difference between bumping my coccyx on the seat frame and being relatively comfy. (but still peering out under the wheel rim like a granny!).

The other trick is a shhet of hardboard cut to size & put between the webbing and the seat inners.

and a thin block works for us taller ones when the legs of the seats have started to fold under

Hmm sounds more like a heavier problem than height would cause the seats to fold under

PS - its in Dad's car - it was like it when we bought it (except it had double the thickness wooden blocks under the legs)
