Consequently, the upholstery material comes in direct contact with the seat frames on both cars. It does seem to me that it would be preferable to have a metal-to-metal contact instead of material on/against metal, but neither set of seat springs in these cars does, and despite that, the upholstery material has held up quite well on both cars. Hope this helps. Good luck on your project.
