For me its the best seat around, I fit perfectly in the drivers seat.
It is so comfortable to me I an drive for a full tank of gas without getting tired or stopping.

I cant help you on that, I once rented a Chevy Corsica and that steering wheel was off center, but my DI feels/looks dead on.
Maybe move your wallet to the other pocket? lol

I SO wanted to mention the Costanza wallet but I was not sure if you would get the reference or not.

Get the Defender, screw the DI, get the Defender.

Condoms were used in the '80's?

Back to the OP.... The mesh net under your seat which holds the foam up has rubber sheet on the sides and a mesh material in the middle. The mesh and rubber have a tendancy to seperate and you can indeed sit off to one side or just sit low with no *** support.

It is fairly easy to inspect from the under the back side of the seat. there are 3 or 4 metal hooks per side which hold that "net" to the seat frame... just unook em, pull it out and either repair or configure a make shift replacement of your own making. BE WARNED it is a royal pain to get back in unless you remove the seat bottom itself which leads me to the next question....

Are your seats leather or cloth? IF cloth then its fairly easy just time consuming....and a wee it messy.
