Question about sport seats and fit in general

iatacs19 · 05-03-2007, 03:30 PM

I have noticed that when I sit in my car which has the sport seats my ass does not touch much of the area PART 2. Most of the sitting is happening in PART 1 of the seat, with a little on PART 2 where the stitching separates the two sections...

I am about 5'10" and 150lbs.

So what is the question exactly? Do you have an oddly shaped rear? That, my friend, is a question.

Change the position of your seat, I guess.....

I'm 5'10 and 135lbs and I don't have that problem. Maybe you sit funny.

5'10 and 135 ?????????? Sounds like you have other problems!!!

I think he needs to adjust the seat better. I'm 5'9" 175 and I think my butt touches his sections 1 and 2. The seat is VERY comfortable.

iatacs19 · 05-03-2007, 03:46 PM

How much of section 2 are you using?

I am trying to find that perfect position, but it's proving rather difficult even with the infinite adjustments available for the seats.

Move the back part of your seat forwards a bit and let your buttocks fall squarely on the seat.

If it is too far back, your lower back and the back of your legs right above the knee will take all the gripping duties.<---which is the problem you have now.

So, mom tells us to sit up at the table for a reason

You probably don't finish all your vegetables either... do you! And quit sitting so close to the TV, you're going to ruin your eyes.
