Default 2022 RX350L seat bolsters??

anyone have issues with their 2022 RX350L driver seat bolsters? Im a bit disappointed with the seat bolsters after 2 yrs of ownership. the RX350L was purchased from the deakership brand spanking new shipped from Japan, first owner. I own a 2015 BMW F36 and its still holding up its bolster shape. I blame lexus easy exit driver seat and i have turned that feature off now.

How do you turn off the easy exit?

I was wondering the same thing, ravenuer. Maybe he means the feature where the seat slides back and the steering wheel dances? I don't see how that would affect the bolster, but I can't see as far as I used to. I turned that off on mine because I'm not big enough to need it.

fondoo,

Do you have the factory running boards installed? The reason I ask is that our RX (primarily driven by my wife as I prefer sedans) has them and I loathe them. Why? I have to overshoot the running boards as they are too short for me and useless. This means I have to put more compression on the seat bolster as I reach my leg(s) farther outward to avoid contacting the edge running board and potentially getting a dirt mark on my pant leg. I wish Lexus would offer a retracting running board that actually provides a genuine step versus a token step and useless visual eye candy.
