Yeah if you guys figure something out let us know! I've been trying to get out of the car without rubbing it but it's near impossible

My Boxster with GT2 buckets now has around 25k miles and shows zero wear on the bolster stitching as I tend to lift myself out with a hand on the sill. The seat base has actually worn more as I swivel round slightly before getting out. I suspect that would be more of a problem with alcantara.

Just drove to Vegas and back - 4.5h each way in the LWB's. Zero complaints from me or the wife. Except it's so hard to avoid the temptation to plant your right foot!

I used those, post #66, on my sport buckets and they did their job. You sometimes need to reposition them as they will creep a bit.

Post #61 brought back memories of the 60's. People actually put that stuff on their furniture.

I used them on my .2, hard to tell if they worked because the buckets were worn when I got them. They moved around alot, maybe I didn't secure them properly.
