Attack of the killer seat. A warning.

I had my suit coat folded on the front passenger seat. I flipped the back of the seat forward to put something in the back seat. When I flipped it back, the seat must have pinched my suit. It cut the suit like scissors. It is ruined. Good news is that it was not a kid finger. At closer inspection, there are two pieces that pinch together when you move the seat back forward and back. I am sure it can catch more things than just a suit coat. Just a caution for those who put things on the front seat but still use the back.

That should not be happening. A suit coat is one thing, but this is actually a safety issue (finger). Again, which seats are these?

Thanks for the report!

I just bought some new pants today that are too long. Will test out the newly designed tailored seats. Porsche thinks of everything. :0)

I have a seat protector for the back of the seat to protect from the kids putting their shoes on it. At the bottom of the protector there is an elastic band that goes around the seat. With me flipping the seat forward and back, the seat ended up cutting the elastic. I hadn’t really thought about it before. But it is the seat doing it. Here is a picture of my suit coat. It cut it all the way through.

Not a big deal but just thought I would give a heads up so others do not ruin their stuff. Maybe Porsche has bought a stake in the garment industry. Genius.

I still don't see the answer to the question of which seat option seats are installed in the car?

Or, perhaps I'm missing somehting?

Sorry, thought I typed that in last thread. They are the 14 way sport seats.
