So there I was one day driving along and all of a sudden I was a couple of inches lower in the seat. The strap rubber holding the foam of my seat up snapped through (the split along the left hand side there), and it left me wedged between the two side parts of the seat, not very comfortable. Bit of rope, no problem.
Since they were out of the car I also took the opportunity to hi-luxury it up a bit. The new covers were hand-me downs from a mate who didn't like them anymore. Score!
I also managed to recover $8.55. Woohoo!
