Deepbluegxp,

Actually, I did realize that. That is why I have already talked with JPM about adding doing the other fix. But, I wanted to give the dealer a chance first. If it doesn't fix it, I am hoping they will pay for the fix. Also, I mentioned to them my concern about it just being the same thing, and they were willing to try to build it up if it is indeed the same.

On the cupholder, thanks for the info. If they don't get to it, I will fix it myself. My only real point in the post is that the dealer was more than willing to try to help. This seem rare concerning the seat issue.

Thanks,

Craig

I'm glad they are receptive to your needs. There aren't many dealers like that out there. Good Luck with your fixes.

After repeatedly addressing the (classic) seat sag issue myself, I see that JMS method goes after the concave driver's seat profile. After feeling like I was sitting in a bathtub I cut out a 13" wide strip of dense 1/4" foam and made two 3 folds at 15" intervals and installed it under the seat foam. I know the new seat foam and 1/4" foam will again compress, but it's any easy fix. Sitten' "proud" now!!!!
