Default Aargh !!! Sports seat is moulting - options ?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58573/img_0679_small.jpg"></center><p>I'm noticing ever increasing amounts of foam padding on the floor under driver's seat.
Has anyone else had/seen this condition ?
End result = ?

Options : wait for the springs to pop through ?
Has anyone tried to get it fixed under warranty ?

Default I was wondering what this was -->

I saw a bit of this when I was cleaning the other day. So what exactly is happening? How can it be fixed?

Thanks

Default I get it too. I speculate it's just the foam material getting brittle over time.

If that's the case, I doubt if there's anything that can be done, besides getting some new Recaro's

Good luck and if you do come up with a solution let us know!

Same thing here. I'm guessing it happens to everyone...

Default Yes, unfortunately...

But I should be home most of the day. We were wondering if those were your bowls...

Give me a ring when you're planning on stopping by-- and by all means bring your own lunch-- our cupboard is not well stocked...
