    Discovered why the front seat causes left hip pain

    I removed the bolt with a T30 star head driver bit. It’s a M6x1.0 thread pattern. The inch long bolt only holds very thin plastic to thin metal which is why the entire bolt sticks through. The funny thing is the entire length is covered in thread lock. I’m going to drive without the bolt for a...

    Discovered why the front seat causes left hip pain

    If you lift up the seat height adjuster you'll see the torx bolt head. Should be simple to replace the bolt with a shorter one

    Discovered why the front seat causes left hip pain

    Actually you don't even need to disassemble the seat to find the bolts! On the driver's side feel in between the plastic and the fabric just to the left of the A in Airbag. On the passenger's side just to the right of the G in Airbag.

    Howto: Adding more padding to front seats

    While following these instructions I figured out why some people are having left hip pain. There is a huge bolt sticking out. See my post: http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7293

    Discovered why the front seat causes left hip pain

    The reason some people are having pain in the left hip area is there is literally a bolt sticking 1.5” into the left hip. There is no bolt on the right side. I followed the instructions from forums to insert foam in the seat and found the bolt. My guess is there was a production line error where...

    A cheap fix for the front seats

    Thanks, I might buy this if the Purple cushion arriving tomorrow doesn't work out. I started with a memory foam cushion but it's too tall and not wide enough. One thing I'm bummed about is this will render the seat warmers useless so I might still try to add foam padding under the warmer if I...

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    How about the seat back? That is poking me in the back and I'd like to put padding there too.

    BOLT SEAT ISSUE - no DATA thread

    I bought my car on 9/23/2017 and had to drive it home 2 hours from the dealer. I had test driven the car before with no problems. But about 1 hour into the drive my left leg/hip started to hurt and then went numb. A couple days later now I still have some hip pain but hopefully it will go away...
