Seat Foam

[ojmcneill]

What's up everyone. Here's a new one. I've noticed under my drivers seat next to the door under the front of the bolster, I've had what now I believe is little seat foam crumbles. Wtf! I've seen them for a while and previously just stepped them out because I actually just thought they were deodorant crumbles from my arm pit. I know, kinda gross but you all know you've had em.
So, after seeing these reappear for awhile now I decided to look a bit closer and I swear they're seat foam crumbles. Wtf. I've got a 2013 s4 w the red inserts. I can't see exactly where they're coming from but at 30k miles, should I show my sa? Would this be a warranty item? I swear I'm no fatass. I try and take good care of my interior too.
So far the seats still seem firm but I don't want to ignore it and the bolster get all friggin floppy or something and it looks pretty cheap getting in w a pile of armpit crumbles that looks like blue cheese rocks.
What do I do? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
O.

i actually dont use deodorant like that for many reasons not including the bleu cheese crumble side effect...

Use deodorant instead of antiperspirant, since sweat is normal and blocking the pores is not. Especially avoid aluminum, which is found in high levels in the brain plaques linked to Alzheimer's disease. And with deodorants, avoid phthalates, which are plastics used to help the fragrance stay on our skin and block endocrine function, especially in the male fetus. Parabens, which are used as preservatives in these products

Most contain aluminum zirconium, which is toxic to the nervous and reproductive systems, a chemical called BHT, which is believed to be a hormonal disrupter and neurotoxin, and various chemicals that give your deodorant stick that distinctive smell. You'll also get another dose of propylene glycol, which helps the deodorant go on so nicely but is linked to irritation and immune toxicity.

I never would have thought of that, but yah very strong rodent possibility. Saw another poster mouse trap one in his S4.

Usually Seat foam is more of a Yellow/Tan color. the only time its blue is usually the padding that is under the carpet. I've never seen blue or any sort of blue foam used for seat padding. A pic would deff help

Hey, but seafoam is pretty good stuff :p

lol, yeah, maybe blue was the wrong adjective. I know it's seat foam though. I can put the seat all the way up and sort of look under it looking up and I see a few openings up into the cushion. I'd post a pic but like a big dummy, I swept up the latest droppings. I know I don't have a mouse, that's for sure. I used a pen to poke around up in there and it's more like chaif where I get in and out of the car. Somewhere, a piece of hard plastic from the seat frame is scratching the foam up in the seat, causing the little crumbles to fall down onto the carpet below the seat. It's just under the front left of the seat behind the nipple that you stick your mats to.

I'm at least going to ask them tomorrow when I drop off the car for the 35k audicare service. I'm open ot all ideas though.

Ok well the only exposed part of the Foam on the seat is the underside of the bottom of the seat. The back is completely covered. So it shouldn't be coming from there. I would check all your seams and everything and look around and make sure one isn't opening.
