Well I've been feeling funny all day in my truck, kinda like I wasn't sitting right. It wasn't nothing major but feels more like I'm leaning to the left towards the door. Even when I turn right i feel like I'm sliding toward the door alot more than ever before. Sure enough just now when I got home I laid back into the floorboard and looked at the seat head on, and the whole bottom part is leaning towards the door. Not sure how long it's been crooked but it's never been bad enough that I felt it until now. At first I thought the outside edge of the pad was just getting worn out with its age but it looks more like the whole bottom part is leaning.

Any chance the seat could've been bent somehow? Or is it most likely just a wore out pad? I'm not too big of a guy, I just weigh around 200 and I don't have nerf bars anymore but I always grab the oh s*** handle and pull myself up onto the seat instead of sliding on to it. And my biggest question is, is this fixable or am I stuck leaning?

Talked to the dealership today. They said its most likely that the pad has either come unaligned or is just crushed, and they said I could take it to an upholstery shop to get that checked out. That was a big relief to hear that it can be fixed plus I have a real good family friend with an upholstery shop that could probably help me out for cheap
