This may be a common problem but I could not find a thread that addressed the issue(s).
Specifically, the padding in my stock leather seats have lost all of their padding. Pretty much sitting on bare metal. I'm pretty narrow in butt measurement so I get no extra support from the side bolsters (when turning they are excellent of course). I contacted the factory on the issue but never heard back. So I am looking for advice. In order of preference based on expense:
1. Could I remove the seats and remove the leather cover (without destroying it) and add some (gel) padding - at least at the bottom of the seat? Do I even have to remove the seats?
2. Should I have them re-upholstered (as we way in the U.S.)? Sounds expensive and not sure what to ask for.
3. Should I replace the seats? Very pricey (presumably) and not a lot to choose from.
Oh, and my lumbar bladder has a slow leak. Not the end of the world but would like that fixed as well. Any advice.
Thx,
V

Great answers (except for the extra body padding thing - alluring as it is). I'll follow up.
Thank you all,

We have answered all of your emails you have asked the factory about your seats dated 22nd April 2015, 5th May 2015, 7th May 2015 (twice). You replied to each email we sent to you so can safely assume you received these factory emails on this topic? Please let us know if you agree or not.


Regards to all,
I'm sorry if I offended. I recall you asking me to send some photos (which I did) to assess their state. I don't recall getting a response to that one - and thus my last post. In general you folks are extremely responsive, so it could be me. And I'll be more diplomatic in the future.
That said, given my prior post, I now have bigger problems to solve and hope, despite my e-faux pas, will lend a hand.
Thanks and apologies,
Rich
