Hi...I've just bought my first Fronty last Thursday...a W reg 2.2 LTD diesel 5 door and I love it!!...apart from the most uncomfortable drivers seat I've ever sat in!!! :roll:
It seems to be collapsed on the door side from continual entry/exit and is crucifying my dodgy lower back (my chiropractor's gonna get rich from it). I've tried a cushion which helped a bit but I was sliding off it when cornering so Ive now made up a cushion out of a couple of bath towels and will see how that goes.
This must be a common problem on older Fronteras judging by the seat so is there a fix, ie, going to an upholsterer or purchasing aftermarket seats??
All ideas gratefully received.... 8)
Regards...Eric.

Just an update to the seat situation...spent about £120... :shock: ...on having seat re-padded and now much more comfy.
Still got a bad back though... :roll:
Love the Fronty though, down some tracks t'other weekend which were a definite no-no in my Focus estate...childs play for the Silver Machine...gotta find some rougher terrain... 8)
Also deliverd a single mattress to my daughters ...fitted inside a treat, glad I got the full-fat Fronty!!

By the looks of it the frigging floor mounts are different and so are the seat mounts. I will post a picture later. Its either a welder job or a set of seats are going up for sale
