Battling the seat problem

No, $150 is just for the driver side bracket and sliders for just the driver seat. I paid $211.20 including freight. The wedge Engineering brackets have no provision for the Prius seat position sensor so we would not know how the steering wheel airbag would deploy if a shorter person was driving so that is why I went to all the trouble of making my own setup.

 

If using an electric seat what circuit would you use to power the seat?

 

I am not sure. That is a problem I did not need to solve until there was demand for brackets. It is a small problem to solve but I haven't seen any reason to solve it thus far. If there is an option for power seats in a Gen 2 car then I would just duplicate the factory solution.

The seats in mh prius kill me on long trips over 200 miles. I just got a cushion to sit on the seat itself to add more support to the butt. The dealer told me that the cloth seats are softer which I did sit in one and they are much softer than the leather version and that the leather has a firmer foam than the cloth to keep the leather from stretching? I am trying to find a remedy for this as well but I cannot afford to replace seats. And if I did I would want all seats to match the new ones which includes the back so that clearly isn't a option.

They did want to charge me 320 to add more padding to the seat however. That seems a bit steep IMHO.

 

I know there are thousands of people out there who hate their Prius seats but few are willing to do what it takes to swap in good seats and then you have aesthetic concerns that are hard to overcome. Aftermarket seat covers set up for a different front seat to match the back seat would not be hard to get but it would add to the cost. But what is your back worth, really?
