Electric driver seat › open front under seat

Geneosity · **January 18, 2015, 13:02:08**

Is it normal like this? Or is some kind of cover missing there?
Look for me like not finished lol.

This is i30 with electric drivers seat.

I haven't seen the electric seats on the i30 but my electric seats I had in the Clubsport were similar to that, they don't need any cover on the front as you wouldn't normally see it unless your head is down on the floor

I attached your image to make it easier for others to see

At looking at the complexity of the mechanism,I can see why there is not a cover on it,but you think they could have used something like the rubber concertina covers on the air ride seat in the trucks

I think bumpkin has electric seats in his Kia - would be interesting to know whether his cee'd has a cover.

Dazzler · **Reply #4: January 19, 2015, 07:26:43**

Looks like it should have a cover! Must look at mine in the Calais when I get home.

You would think susceptible to damage being exposed like that!

VaerO · **Reply #5: January 19, 2015, 07:31:55**

Mine also looks like that so I assume its normal.

Geneosity · **Reply #6: January 19, 2015, 18:59:54**

i was also expecting cover... but seems it is normal in Hyundai LOL

You could always put up a set of curtains

beerman · **Reply #8: January 20, 2015, 06:04:31**

Looks like the seat is up a fair way.

bumpkin · **Reply #9: January 20, 2015, 09:04:27**

Seat does look very high.

I have never noticed that on either the Cee'd or the i40 which also had the electric seat, even when vacuuming the carpets, perhaps age is reducing the observational powers!

Will check later and get back to you

bumpkin · **Reply #10: January 20, 2015, 15:39:07**

Looks a lot tidier in the Kia, not a good photo but the parts look to be more under the seat and behind a bar, really hard to get down and see!

**Reply #11: January 20, 2015, 16:00:20**

I think Geneosity might also have the seat height raised and moved right back which would make it more visible but when sitting in the car normally you should not see it, if it were closed off there could possibly be heat issues as well

bumpkin · **Reply #12: January 21, 2015, 07:53:37**

I agree Craig, but it does look like the Kia has an extra bar at the front of the seat which kind of creates a natural "barrier" between the assembly and the rest of the car, I don't see that on the i30 pic.

Geneosity · **Reply #13: January 23, 2015, 17:03:13**

really wondering how my 12 years old SEAT Cordoba has so nice bumber around both front seats and full equiped i30 doesn't

**Reply #14: January 23, 2015, 17:27:43**

Does your 12 year old SEAT Cordoba have height and tilt adjustable electric seats?

Moderator Gonz will be excited to hear you mention one of those (they have one as well)

i don't think this argument is relevant

i think when i have full equipped car with electric adjustable seats... 50c bumper should be standard lol.

Confirmed today guys.

This is normal.

Wingerdave · **Reply #18: February 18, 2015, 13:02:38**

Well, i'm glad i didn't go for that option. It's just messy, whether you can see it or not.

bumpkin · **Reply #19: February 20, 2015, 07:43:18**

But if you cant see it, does it matter??

How I Roll · **Reply #20: February 20, 2015, 10:27:01**

Yeah, that is up to its highest and furthest back.. usually people who require a seat that far back don't have it that high lol
Edit; tried to quote someone and failed. Haha

How's the weather in Townsville, Trev?

Is this what the young kids call "Thread creep"?
