Seat Comfort Suggestion

[lexSubie]

My OBW seat has been very uncomfortable on my upper legs / rear since falling on ice at Christmas. Not a good combination since it's my winter daily driver. I discovered that if I move my seat up and back and drive with my knees close together, the pain doesn't appear after about 30 minutes on the road. Since I already sit very upright and keep the steering wheel rather high, I don't have to adjust the steering column.

You can probably go to an auto interior restoration place in your area and ask them about modifyiing the seat/seatback cushions. Someone posted a seat mod in here for their 2010/11 Outback, I think he mentioned he paid $125/seat. I was planning on doing that with my seat cushion for extra thigh support. My wife is 5'7" but she has longer legs than I so she needs more support under the knee area. I think she's ok in the driver's seat cause you can adjust the tilt on the seat cushion. Good Luck
