Seat Pucker. Why I happens to some and not others.

[indygrandprix]

Thought I would share this with you guys

GM made some seats with a plastic piece sewn across the middle seam of the seat and others they just sewed extra fabric across the middle seam.

On the ones with the plastic piece it breaks in the middle and the stitching pulls the plastic so it overlaps and pushes up in the pucker shape.


Broken plastic piece

Pucker caused by broken plastic

Extra fabric style seat

No pucker

Huh really interesting my girlfriends gp has a hella pucker going on on the passenger side and I was always trying to guess how that happened.

Any fixes? Assuming not

While he digs between his legs in his girls car.....

Let's all agree 97-03 GP seats are uncomfy.

Agreed

The title of this thread was misleading.

Usually when I hear seat pucker, it has to do with very fast cars and quickly clinching cheeks.

I thought the same thing, but now that I'm in here, my best advice to fix 97-03 Seat "Pucker" is......replacing seats with 04+ Seats!!!
