Multi-contour seat cushion replacement?

[jimmyducati]

After 158,000 miles the seat bottom is a little flat and uncomfortable. I have found seat foam replacement, but nothing that says if it is compatible with the air bladders and heat/ac the multi-contour seats have. Has anyone replaced the seat cushions yet?

Just as long as your foam is just a little flat and not crumbling you can remove the foam and use a steamer. Push the steamer into the foam and it will return back to its original shape. Just let it dry completely and there is no need for new foam. It’s a really neat trick. You will need some hog rings and pliers. Cut the original hog rings with some side cutters.

I’m familiar with that trick, I also know it will not stand the test of time on a car that gets a lot of seat time with multi hour road trips. I travel 7+ hours one way for work each week, the numb butt stops have gotten more frequent recently. If I’m going to pull the seats and seat bottom cushions, I am replacing the foam vs. steaming it. Pulling them to steam it again every 25k miles isnt worth it for me when new seat foam should be comfortable for another 100k.
