Hi,
My seat pan broke, after an unfortunate incident with a electric garage door!!
Are there after market options available? Anyone here with other than standard seats, Powerparts Gel seat? Opinions?
Thanks.

Seat Concepts have a stronger pan available as well as the usual foam/covers.

Powerparts one is a lot softer than the standard one. Also cheaper than the Seating concepts but not as good.

I love the stock seat but the seat pan sucks. I'm on my second. They both snapped in the middle

The little rubber supports start two compress after a while. I stick on little circles of conveyor belt to shim them up. When they sag again, I replace. Repeat... Just got 4 a couple of weeks ago. If you leave it, the pan breaks.
