Hi All,

Glad to be here. I am researching buying a new Bolt EV LT1, and wondered if anyone has swapped Bolt seats with something more comfortable? And were you able to get the seat heating to work?

Welcome! There have been many modifications of the seats on older (2017-21) Bolts. Here's a few from searching this forum for "seat":

Seat Covers From Wet Okole...

Just got my new front seat covers from Wet Okole. They look good and fit well, but it is a bit of a struggle to get them on—took me close to 3 hours. In order to get covers on the seat backs it is necessary to remove the headrests. Thanks to EldRick, in a post elsewhere on the Forum, I was...

Seat Swap Project Has Begun

I've experienced something in my Bolt this weekend that I've never experienced before.... Feeling comfortable in the driver's seat. I kicked off my seat swap project by mocking up the most likely donor seat at this point from a 2015 VW Jetta Trendline. These are seats that I know I can spend...

Seat Enhancement Method Analysis and Conclusion

OK Ya'all, I cut exact patterns to cover the front driver's seat with various materials. I decided not to stuff the additional material underneath inside the seat cushion , as it is I believe less effective and harder to do. Doing a "topping" does negate use of seat heaters in Winter, but is...

My Purple seat cushion is sooooo comfy.

Usually, I find the 2019 Bolt seats to be fine for up to an hour. But after that, it just isn't enough, and I find myself shifting around trying to get comfortable. A while ago I bought a Purple Simply Seat cushion for general use, and on my last 4-hour round trip I decided to try it in the car...

Added a Seat Cushion

Due to the horrible seat that causes my leg to go numb after an hour of driving I threw on a seat cushion which has helped. The only problem is now I feel disconnected from the car and I'm too tall for the rearview mirror. I'm going to either take apart the seat to add more foam myself or pay an...

Katzkin Leather Seats Installed!

Once again, another update to my 2020 LT (where I forgot to share here for reference). I replaced my cloth seats with Katzkin Leather seats (cost a few dollars above $2,000 for the unique design + installation + actual leather seats) about ~13,000 miles into me owning it (about 7-ish months). I...

Front Seat Fix

I got my new Bolt EV LT yesterday after a lot of testing of the front seats. While I found that raising the seat height helps shift weight forward and somewhat off the ridges towards the back, I couldn't find an adjustment point that was totally satisfying. This youtube video with a fix may be...

Gel seat pad insertion 2020 premiere

First I'm not recommendeding that everyone should do this mod because I'm not even sure if I'm keeping it. [:::EDIT::: 3 week review below :::/EDIT:::] But if someone else want to do it this is how I made my seat and my ride WAY more comfortable. I bought this gel pad to try out on top of the...

I love these. Friends who have ICE cars also love them. I still get enough heat in the winter through the seat, although i miss the back warmth . . . https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075R6TMXN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
