Default anyone else have a 2012 Artic edition?

my driver seat is having an issue with the seat cushion being baggy and not tight to the seat. I took it to the dealer. They took photos and are sending them to Jeep. this happened after driving for a week, I am not that big that this would start happening allready. The artic has a special interior , that is why I'm asking about this model, Thanks.

I don't know if you guys have leather or not, but if you don't you might be able to steam the foam and bring it back some. Worst comse to worse you could remove the seat skin and put some more foam under there.

Not really sure why it would be doing that, but they are pretty cool looking rigs. Saw one this morning on my way to work. The arctic ice blue color or whatever it's called looked pretty neat with a color matched hard top.

I just barley bought an Artic Edition last week. I love it! The seats are holding up so far. Sure hope mine doesn't start doing the same thing. Let me know what happens to yours.

I just put a Terraflex 2.5" budget boost on mine and it really helps to beef up the look.https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.png

I would love to see some pics of the seats that went bad...I wonder if the heated part of the seats caused this...I use mine a lot as its been cold here.

I bought my arctic 21 feb 2012. I'm 6'4 and 305 lbs. if the seat distorts or has a defect then it will happen to mine because of my size.


Quick Reply: anyone else have a 2012 Artic edition?
