seat side wear g80

Hi everyone. I have bucket seats. I have 30,000 km on them. Today I noticed that the side of the driver's seat is very worn. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you solve it? Is this wear normal at this mileage?

You have to enter and exit the vehicle without rubbing up against the bolster. Basically pretend it's a contest on how ridiculous you can look entering or exiting, with as much contortion as possible, and you're there.

It happens... You can use your seat memory functions to move the seat further back upon exit & entry as well as try to avoid the rubbing, as mentioned above.
