I went to the dealership yesterday and notice that Chevy has upgraded the RS power leather seat in the 2013 and possibly the 2012 and made it completely power not manual and power like older models.

How can I change my semi-power passenger seat for a completely power passenger seat?

What's the cost and labor time?

also, it's not just with the leather seats, it's all passenger seats in 2012+ camaros. And the RS package is just an exterior cosmetic package. Nothing to do with the interior.

Long time problem for ALL of us. No easy retro fix..

I'll take a manual pump seat like my drivers side, but nothing available.

Sometimes you have to wonder where GM's heads are at when they design things.

I'm sure it was a cost thing. If you look at the cost and content of the car over the years, every year the content and cost has increased. It is an unfortunate oversight but at least they are improving the product over time and not letting it get stagnant and bland.

Every year, there is something better... At least that is what GM shoots for.

The only thing that pisses me off is that you can't recline the seat all the way back :/
