VF SSV redline seats uncomfortable?

[DanielSS-V]

I've got a very early series 1 VF Redline. The ones that had the premium foam, before they cheapened them. No problems so far.

Is your car a high mileage car? Lots of time in the seat?

What's the sheepskin inserts you have?

The Holden accessory; a little exxy for what they are but not too bad, and they fit perfectly.

Car is hitting 90,000km so yeah it's probably wear and tear.

I did 200,000 km’s over 20 years in my Mazda and everything looked new inside and out with absolutely nothing wrong with the seats front or back. Sadly the car was written off by some idiot

So from my Mazda experience i’d say foam collapsing at 100,000 km’s is not ‘wear and tear’ but poor material choice and construction. Seems that’s a common denominator with Holden

So who did the rework on your seat, a Holden dealer or someone else? What did they actually do, take the seat out and do a reform on the drivers side bolster?

If the seat ‘pain in the bum’ issue occurred after the seat rework, best to take it back to who did the work as get them to look into it

Hope I have better luck with my MSE than what’s seen by most Holden vehicles (Though the glue failing on the material strip on the bottom leading edge of the sunroof and on the underside of the wheel cover makes me think i’ll have fun with the dealer - not)

A upholstery place in Sydney did the work and yes I've told them and it's getting looked at again. How comfortable are those MSE seats?

 

[Skylarking]

MSE seats have felt comfortable so far but i've only been on reletively short drives and not gone for long drives where i'd be sitting in them for a couple of hours.

I thought it may be the case.
The foam in my series 2 is **** compared to my series 1.

My seat hasn't lost any comfort but in the last month I've noticed a creaking sound coming from around about where your talking about. Happens when i turn a corner.

That sounds like the seat base it was a very common problem with the VF series and usually required a replacement base.

What exactly is in the seat base to make it creak?
