For the 401A owners, how are your seats holding up?

Part of the problem are the long doors. When cars are parked next to you, you end up doin this maneuver where your press your full body weight against the seat and have to slither out through an 18 inch crack at the rear of the door and BEHIND the seat.

Happens to me often and us one reason why I park far away from other cars. (door dings being the other).

If you are fat, or average American size, then the passenger seats' bolster and lower left area will wear much quicker than usual. However, if you enter and exit the car without dragging a big ass over the left part of the seat everytime, then it will obviously last much, much longer.

If you check the press releases, Ford specifically recommends against the 401A package for lard asses. When the salesman saw me coming, he shook his head and said that his dealership could not warranty my interior no matter which package I chose.
