    I do not. So far I've put a towel on the right sunken side of the seat bottom and one on the right side of the seat back and it has helped a little.

    You are sometimes giving off the impression that there is no detail too small for you to complain about. Back pain is a big issue, but it's only a big deal to the driver. You may be able to use a asymmetrical back cushion behind you to simulate a seat back that is properly aligned. If you can convince the company mechanics the issue if worth their time to look into, you may get them to address the problem. Be very careful you do not want to earn a reputation with the mechanics of being a Princess. If you do they may not work on the small issues you bring to them.

    All your tires on the left side are over inflated.
    Let enough air out (while they are cold) until your seat is level.

    :( I hear you that it’s a pain if it doesn’t sit straight! But there are a lot of cheap thin cushions that should help a lot with that. Or get one of those filler injections in your right hip to even it out;)
     
    OldeSkool and SoulScream84 Thank this.

    People who find fault in everything around them seldom find fault in themself.
