Seat Cushion Is Uneven
Vehicle Type:
Boxster/Boxster S
Model Year:
As of 1997 (V) / 2000 (Y)
Concern:
The leather seat bottom cushion is uneven.
Information:
The cover of the seat cushion on the leather front seats can become uneven. To correct this, double-sided tape was installed between the cover and
the cushion in production from the end of March 2000 to the end of the "Y" production year. 2001 model year vehicles have a modified seat
structure, which eliminated the need for the double-sided tape.
In case of complaints in vehicles produced earlier than the end of March 2000, double sided tape should be used to attach the seat bottom to the
cushion.
Parts Information:
Work Procedure:
Installing the double-sided tape from the seat cover to the seat cushion.
1. Remove the front seat.
2. Remove the seat cover.
Note:
Disengage the seat cover and roll it back until the adhesive film can be affixed between the cushion cut-outs (slits) in figures 1 and 2.

3. Remove one side of the protective film on the double face tape.
4. Affix the adhesive film on the seat cushion in the center between the two cushion cutouts (figure 2).
5. Remove the other side of the protective film on the double4aced tape.
6. Affix the seat cover on the double4aced tape (figure 3). To do so, pull the seat cover by the strip (pull the cover taut). Starting in the middle,
press the seat cover on the double4aced tape with the palm of your hand.
Note:
If creases form or the assembly is incorrect, the seat cover positioning can be corrected again within 3 minutes. If the seat cover has to be
removed again at a later time, the double-sided tape does not have to be removed. A new piece of double-sided tape can be affixed right on top
of the old piece.
7. Install the seat cover back on the seat.
8. Install the seat back in the vehicle.
