Seat padding

I have an 04 Scab Lariat with 30k miles and the padding is going flat on the seat I can feel the support bar under my butt pushing thru. Has anyone had this problem and brought there truck back to the dealer and what have they done for you?

I heard another member talking about having a similar problem with his. He was upgrading his seat covers and bought new padding from the dealer. I think he replaced the seat cushion and it was around 50 dollars. If your under warranty they should cover it.

Angry Seat padding bad

Hi-

I had the same trouble with my '04 FX4 after less than 2 yrs. Padding/foam was crumbling at the edge you slide onto. They replaced the foam. My '05 Lariat F150 with beige 'pleather' interior has the seat edge starting to lay down some after 17K miles. I have already had the upright seat cover replaced twice due to the 'beige dye' wearing through halfway up the seat. I finally put seat covers on the truck . These seats sure are cheap overall in material content and construction. Don't even get me started on the cloth seats in my previous '04 FX4 as far as staining with just a few water spots! Ford needs to be better be prepared for the competition than this. Oh well, I'll trade in a few years before the famous 5.4 3 valve spark plug change.
