Denali 08, it feels like the driver side cushion has been “sit on” more and slightly leans left or at least feels like it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

So far I’m thinking:
- Just drive longer, takes time to get used
- Hit then gym you ******

Change the seat cushion, and cover out I took my seats apart and really not difficult. Just make sure you either grab the heated seat pad, or buy a new one. Also check to see if all the latches are in place?

Is it easy to pull leather back on top of cushion? How is held together?

Pretty easy pop the back pocket thingy off, then there's little plastic tabs that hold it down unclip all those. I would disconnect the battery cause you will have to unclip the side impact airbag, but I unclipped (with battery connected) and it and it was safe. Then just move the cover up front pull the tabs that hold it to the seat. I think you have to trim where the headrest tabs are. I pulled mine off in the middle of winter to install my heated seat pads

Are you talking about the seat cushion, or the seatback cushion?

Take a look at the videos at TheSeatShop.com. Step by step instructions there, and they have great quality foam and covers. I did my driver's seat and it's so good now!

Thanks for that. Imma order one for my '07. I've been hitting the tortilla chips hard lately and ended up with 10 more pounds on my carcass than I knew about. My seat cushion doth protest. So, rather than lose the weight I'll just replace the cushion. In the meantime, I'll ease off the chips.

Man, the one thing I miss most about Denver is Santiago's burritos.

Great video on there, can't tell you how many times I had to go back to it for reference. Just did this past weekend as a matter of fact.
