Recaro Seat life span....

[Superlead76]

Every time I get in and out of my BOSS, my jeans rub the side bolster!! I would how long before this seat starts looking ratty? Anyone have any ideas? I'm not a big guy either. 5'9" 170 lbs.

I slide the seat all the way back before I get out. That seems to help. Being manual seats it just takes a sec to readjust when I get back in.

Probably not a bad idea!

I have the same concern, which is compounded since I can't really open the door that wide in my garage. i've started moving the seat back but I still have to carefully squeeze out. Time to upgrade to a bigger garage

I was wondering the same thing, I am tall but drive the Boss with the seat far forward then I would any other car. At least in my case it is not a DD so I should be OK. It kind of gives that race car feel, you have to squeeze into it ;D

Just cut out a section of sheetrock to let the door open wider between the studs.

My garage walls are just studs and that is the reason why I don't finish it. ;D

I think I'm gonna order another driver's seat just to keep in the plastic. ;D

Has anyone thought about applying scotch guard?

Already done but that will help with stains not with wear and tear.

Understand but I didn't won't to lose the new car smell just yet. ;D
