Thread: Puma defender seats

Depends on the seat option?
They do a number of different seats in the Puma.

I'm talking about standard cloth seats. The only different ones I'm aware of is leather and the limited edition models for example the recaro's.

All puma seats are the same frame, simply different material. Then there are the optional recaros. It may have been a matter of the 2014 seat packing it up faster than the older one.

Everyone says that some of the newer materials used aren't as good as they used to be.

Maybe try a retrim kit on one seat? Or if it's still under warranty... Take it back and have 'em replace one seat.

As Surrufus writes,

Not counting the Recaro seats that previously only came in the SVX models and special factory or dealership orders,
There are different seat back frames for different seats.
Some of the seats have separate head rests and some of the seats have integrated head rests into the backrest.

My drivers side seat back was replaced under warranty because the foam had collapsed on the side next to the cubby box, I have seen a few like this, mainly 2013 models.

Dullbird,I find the passenger seat in both my defenders different and not as comfortable,I think it's because you sit in the drivers much more so it wears to your bum shape quicker. Pat

Lou, the quickest way to check is to sit in another Defer,, obviously same year/model.
Pat raises a good question,, have you got a sore back when driving?

I haven't done any driving.

I did passenger and driving in the 110.

But this car I haven't driven.

The seat just feels too soft and there for not supportive.

I don't see the point in taking it to the dealer because seating is just a personal preference, so they are more than likely to sit in it and say is fine.

My 2010 110 had the drivers seat replaced when the frame broke and to me (and the Cook) the seats are not as good on long trips as our previous Td5 and 300Tdi.
And the Cook's always right.....
