Leather wavy/loose - fix

I’m starting to noticing that the leather in my F82 is no longer as taut as it used to be… it’s loosened and I’d like to get it all tight again if this is possible?

Thats a high traffic area. Not sure there is a permanent fix for that

Unfortunately that is very common as another member stated it’s a high traffic area

Blah. Seems like a design flaw. What a bummer. I would swap the seats if there was a way to keep heated electronically controlled seats, because the stock seat bolsters are not quite as high/snug as I’d like either. Oh well.

Can't fix this trust me I tried.

I put a heat gun on that area and it did help a LITTLE the seat was still ripply.

I did use it to get some of the wrinkles and loose leather around the seat though, just not that bottom part.

Do they make slightly more supportive seats that maintain the heating functionality and electronic mobility?
