stretched out seat fabric . . .

anybody else having this problem with their seats? . . i only weigh maybe 140 lbs and ive had my car for only 10 months and the fabric on my seat is all stretched out (look at the picture) the drivers side seat isnt doin it because there is rarely someone sitting in it . . . i dont think it should be doing this . . . . what should I do . . . .
by the way, it looks alot worse than the picture really shows - it was hard to get a good picture showing what is happening . .

it protects the seat from you moving around. the more you move around the worse it gets.

Mine does that too. *** shaped folds when I get out. They usually fix themselves after a bit though. Doesn't bother me.

i had that also. its actually not the fabric stretching but the foam in the seat being compressed from your weight. all you have to do really is fluff the seat by smacking the seat or something along those lines to make the foam expand. its mostly the sides that bend inward that make the middle have what it seems to be a stretched out appearance.

well it could be a fabric stretch but i'm sure you can spread the fabric out with your hands to get rid of the saggyness.
