2006 S-Class (S430) seat thigh-support area is painful. Please help.
My 2006 S430's drivers seat front-top area (thigh support bump) is rock hard and painful, mainly under my right leg.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Can anyone suggest some sort of pad for the seat and where to get it?
Can the seat be modifed, with stuffing removed/reduced/softened? If so, by whom?
I would hate to sell the car because I love it in all other ways but for this problem.
I'm 6 feet+, 210 pounds, with long legs and thick, muscular thighs.
Thank you in advance for ANY comments on this.

Have you tried adjusting the length of the seat cushion? It is independent of the fore & aft adjustment of the entire seat. The buttons are a representation of the whole seat, and note that the lowest button moves the whole seat, while the one immediately above it moves only the seat cushion.
Hope it works out better for you.
