Default Driver's Seat Not Level

Now I'm convinced that it's not in my mind!
My wife brought it to my attention that she has noticed that I seem to be adjusting my sitting position more than normal when driving.

I realize that she is right and that the reason seems to be a result of my seat not being level i.e. my right 'cheek' sits lower than the left and therefore I'm constantly adjusting my sitting position to compensate.

We switched seats the other day and she agreed with my ASSessment. No problem with the passenger side seat.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Probable causes and/or solution.

Default have you pushed down on the seat to see if something is broken?

Maybe one of the wires that is supposed to support the cushion has either broken ir is missing. I would go to the dealer and see a salesman about taking another TT for a drive. If that TT feels differently from yours, walk into the service dept and ask a service writer to check out your car for a minute. Much easier than making an appointment and you also have a point of reference with the demo you just drove. Good luck and let us know what it ends up being.

Default LOL...Reminds me of a funny motorcycle story......>>

Years ago we had a customer that swore his bike was going down the road crooked. He had to hang one cheek off the side to compensate for this "feeling". The Honda service rep came in to check it out and found Nothing wrong. Everything tracked straight as an arrow. He suggested we not look, while he "fixed" the problem. The fix was giving the bars a good kick, tweaking the front forks in the opposite direction as the cheek problem. Customer went out and rode it....came back with a big smile on his face. problem solved......

This is not to say it's in your head...LOL, your up/down adjusters could be out of whack resulting in one side locking in higher than the other......My guess anyway!
