I got a new pair of Elite 80 seats in the rig a few weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone had these and if so, does the seat tend to go lower to the floor when the rig is sitting in a lot for a few days (as the primary air tank looses pressure) ?
After about 3 days, my driver's seat is basically on the floor (passenger seat seems OK) and at this time, my primary tank has about 30psi in it and the secondary tank has about 80psi.
I guess I had thought that the seat might retain air no matter what the system itself does....?
Anyone have Sears Atlas 80 Elite seats?

Can you say "loosing air pressure"?
After reading a bit of your other air leak thread, I know that is not what you want to hear. Replaced my factory seat with a "top of the line model" from Seats Inc about three years ago, this seat was in another truck, that I traded on my present truck, after putting in the original seat. Darn thing leaked down in both trucks, but apparently has a check valve in system, both my trucks would retain 100# + throughout weekend off, but seat would leak down! Not enough to drop to floor, but enough to hit the floor whenever I dropped my fat butt in it. Talk about a rude awakening! Usually wound up with hot coffee in lap, and badly jarred back. Never could find the leak, just learned to sneak into seat.
Try the soap and water at the adjusting buttons would be my suggestion.
Good Luck -
That's awesome. Thanks for the laugh!!
I called Sears Seats. She told me to soap up the fittings/switches (here we ####ing go again) and if I find something, they will send it to me no charge - or I can take it back to KW for fix under warranty. Yea...I want to go back to KW and GRAB MY ANKLES AGAIN...

The Elite 80 seats (Ultraleather..fake) were on sale at KW for $699 in July.
So I got a set. I will double check what you found. I havent had that issue since that one day..and I have no idea why it happened ?!
But I agree. For this much, they should inspect that stuff. Not much we can do eh?
