I am having a seat problem with my VE Calais V driver seat. On the right of the cushion a plastic housing with the electric controls has now broken the plastic clips fixing it to the seat twice. The door side bolster of the seat is putting pressure on the plastic housing and pushing it off, breaking the front clip in the process.
It has broken twice in the three months I have had the car. The first time the dealer replaced it under warranty, but said Holden would not replace it again. They said the breaking was due to people sitting on it. It's a fr*akin seat!:bang: I feel that the plastic panel is already under pressure from just being clipped and slipped on. The bolster on the driver's door side has no support under it and has nowhere else to go but down onto the top edge of the plastic panel. Thus stressing the front clip (especially) and causing it to fail. How do they expect you to get in and out of the car without putting weight on this seat swab?:ranting::shooting:
My car goes in for it's 15K km service next week, so we will see what happens. Although when I informed them of the seat panel breaking again when I booked it in, they started to say Holden wouldn't replace it again under warranty. We'll see! Cheers!
