Re: Raise seat height in front

I use a Tribo seat cover at the passenger end - it stopped my kids sliding around. On their site it only shows passenger seats, but there must be something similar for a whole seat out there.

As Tony said, you could sell on to recover some cost if they don't fix the problem. But with your problem being intermittent, it seems les...
