Has anyone figured out how to prevent the front seats from getting pinched and eventually becoming torn, just from getting in and out? I realize that "dragging your ass across the seat" every time you get in or out is going to cause damage, eventually, just because of the seat design, vehicle height, etc. I've got 500 miles on mine and I attempt to stand up and then sit or exit, but I can still see that it's starting to fail. I know that this has been a widespread problem on many cars and trucks over the years. Not just leather seats or Fords, LOL.

I also know that Ford will warranty the seat bottoms--at least while the warranty is in place. But what I'd really like to know is if anyone has found a way to prevent it. I don't see how using seat covers will make any difference, so I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with them or anything else.

I have the same issue in the Raptor F150. I have tried to just step on the running boards when I get in and out. I can't think of any other way to avoid "dragging your ass across the seat :) " besides stepping on the running boards.
