Thanks Richard! I'll go out and give it a try. I hope you had a great time skiing.

Does it look "empty/dry/limp" without the foam in it...just curious if you could send a picture of the current foam-free status of things. Do you feel the frame?
Thanks!!!!!

Richard, thanks again for this tip! I installed my new foam the other day and have been cruising around in my "new" seats. A huge improvement! I took a few photos as well to help others, and will post when my wife returns with the camera.
For those interested, I too swapped the seatback cushion on my supple leather seats. Picked up the material from a local shop: House of Foam in Palo Alto (California). They actually cut the new foam to match that of the standard piece, just a lot less dense.
Great mod, and only $55.
Cheers,

I also did my drivers seat last night, those metal rings are a royal pain to get out, why didn't they use tie-wraps??
I put in some flame retardent foam (those seat heater wires might get hot enough to melt any old foam - the stock dense foam has a layer of some material on it that looks like it may be flame retardent).
The new feeling of being sunk back in to the seat is great, but I am feeling the plastic backing frame in a few places so will take a look tonight and see what I can do to tailor a better fit..
Worth the experiment and easily reversible if you aren't happy, I'd just use tie-wraps to replace the little metal rings..
