Side Bolsters Deflating

so I had this hunch that the side bolsters were deflating, so this morning on the way to work, I inflated the sides (not the thighs) fully. After about a minute, they started slowly losing stiffness, then after another 30 seconds, they just quickly went flat.

Any ideas or is it dealership time?

the thigh bolsters stayed fully inflated on the trip to work. i left them that way, so at lunch i'll check them as well.

Mine don't deflate at all. Might be time to go to the dealership and have them look into it. And if you have the bubble issue, might as well have them address that too.

ok, that's good to know. i have the bubble issue as well, so maybe i'll just get a whole new seat out of it.

also... my gear shifter in MM mode will not work when up-shifting... i need to schedule a visit.
