My left hip was getting sore as well and I could feel a bar in the bolster. I removed the seat from the car and pulled off the upholstery (2011 nismo, 8,000 mi). Not difficult to do, take pictures as you for putting it back together. I also have upholstery hog pliers and clips to reinstall fabric. The foam had slipped down below the bar and was mostly pushed under the bar instead of wrapped over it. Being late at night and wanting it back together before wife freaked out seeing seat ripped apart, I opted to use 1/2" dense foam pipe wrap to cover the bar and more foam to beef up that area. It worked great as it has adhesive to glue the edges together. I went ahead and did the right side as well. I figured it will feel tighter as I added more foam knowing it would eventually break down and feel stock again. So far it has not broken down and seat is a little tight to sit in. I'm 6', 240lbs so my *** fills the seat anyway.
