I've read through this thread and couldn't really determine if the saggy seat bottom issue is just a problem with non-ventilated seats or both. Also, does this issue seem to affect both the Sport Seat and the Sport Seat + versions?

my vented seats are affected as well, and I have yet to get the dealer to own up to anything, they just show me some stupid memo from Porsche.

Are you guys still seeing this issue or did it go away after a period of time on its own?


Mine is just over a month old and has pretty noticeable saggy bottom/bulges - mostly on driver side. It looks like it was sat on for 10 years!

I had this issue in my 2019 Cayenne - back seats only. I attributed it to picking up the kids after a day of rafting and some moisture got into the leather despite a towel being on top of the seats. I suspect most of those with the issue won’t have had soggy passengers, but just my experience.

Club leather, non ventilated. No sags at 2200 miles.

I have now twice tried to get the dealer to do some thing about it, and both times they said that the Porsche local representative said it’s normal. Beyond pissed 😡

it really makes me dislike the car, so f expensive and the seats look like they are 10 years old, I figured maybe its me im 220, but nope my 10 year old son sat in the passenger seat and the same thing happened immediately, like i said earlier I had another 992 that I drove for 4000 miles same type of seat no wrinkles at all zero. When I traded it in for this current one the first thing i noticed was how much softer the leather is, and sure enough saggy seats, so ugly

again, I can confirm that my dealer has now completed the work and fully replaced the drivers seat bottom and the leather. It is flawless and the issue has not returned. All work done under factory warranty completely free of charge. My dealer had to get it approved but service manager was able to get approval done. Took 6 months for parts to come in but it was well worth it. They also replaced 2 Bose speakers at the same time that were crackling

I somehow missed this, do you mind sharing the name of your dealer, so I can reference this when I talk to Mine?
