I suppose they are to test exhausts pre and post catalysis.

I now use anti-grav butt pads which remove "most" of the weight of my butt from the seat!

Every car I've owned had wear on driver's seat from normal use v other seats.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My car's leather seats are slightly wearing off on the doors side, where there is most friction+weight when one want to sit down or go out of the seats...
Any suggestions?
Waz
Seriously, I share your concerns. I have long legs and they hit the front corner of the seat as I get in.
I don't think that there is any real solution. Except not getting in to the car in the first place. (perish the thought!)
New year's cheer to you,
Chris
check into Wet Okole covers. While they don't duplicate the leather look or feel, they are custom made and fit very snugly.
Every car I've owned had wear on driver's seat from normal use v other seats.
Hmm... Guess this looks more like the asking for the elixir of old age, lemme post this in the druids' website forum!
I will soon find the solution for eternal juvenility and my pcar will stay young forever!
Waz
Using a good leather conditioner like Lexol will keep the leather moist and clean, just like skin, and will help retard wear and cracking. If it is already worn you can have them refinished and dyed to look almost like new. I hand rub in conditioner almost once a month on the drivers side bolsters. They have wrinkles but no cracks.
tx bruce,
i am already using conditioners on a weekly basis.. am having a thought, i'll take a picture of the wearing now, and one after a month or so to see how it goes..

I have just dismantled the passenger side rattling exhaust.
1)To start with, the holding bolts were really rusted and there�s one that even was cracked. That is no problem I will change them to new ones.
2)The muffler is indeed rattling when we removed it and shake it. There�s like something inside that is lose. The only solution I have here is to open with Oxygen it and inspect it to stop/weld/fix/pack anything that is lose inside. I will re-weld it after having done it.
3)Each of the catalytic converters has a sensor before and after. I suppose they are to test exhausts pre and post catalysis. Do you suggest I should empty the honeycombs inside them? I can do that by again: cutting / emptying / re-welding. Many people here do that with their cars since our fuel is leaded and the cats eventually block as they say but I don�t know if this is really true.
MOST IMPORTANT, WILL IT AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC READING AND/OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH?
Wael
I place my hand behind me as the rub point against the bloster when stretching to get in. At least that way I can avoid the pant / belt material rubbing against the bolster.
Even if it leather wears, it can be dyed back quite easily.
Ok so i guess it's all about prevention and there's no cure..
Thanks, I'll watch out for my entries and exits and wish the habbit will not carry over to the bed.
..otherwise am sleeping on the couch! <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />

I do not believe it is wise to condition the leather too often (i.e. weekly). It will potentially soften excessively particularly at the stitching and decrease, rather than increase the life of it.
You may want to try Connolly Hide Food which seems to penetrate better than Lexol, also better scent.
TOM 919, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SELLING YOUR SEATS I MAY BE INTERESTED. E-MAIL ME @ <a href="http://[email removed]." target="_blank">[email removed].</a> I NEED THE DARK GRAY COLOR.
THANKS TONY CALVERT 2000 C4
I read awhile back from a leather expert that denim blue jeans cause significantly more wear on car leather than all other pant materials - it's like sandpaper . And a fun car like a Porsche is going to get a disproportionate amount of "weekend denim" total seat time . So I guess you'll have to wear khaki slacks or "Dockers " from now on !
I have a cab and strap my self in a special harness that hangs from the ceiling in my garage. I winch myself up in the air and move my self over my seats and set myself down gently in my car.
I then unstrap the harness from the winch.
After my drive I simply reverse the process attaching my harness, which i leave on, to the strap and hoist myself out. The winch is electrically controlled which makes the process easier.
I never leave my car during the drive.

that is classic, I must say I did try it once. I got stuck in the sunroof...Not a good picture
Olav I tried that but the harness left wear marks in my leather! How oh how do I get them out???
I now use anti-grav butt pads which remove "most" of the weight of my butt from the seat! This works much better than the hartness ever did......
