Cushion-Pan Multi-Contour Seat Bracket

This injection-molded, 30% GR LFT PP seat support bracket replaced die-stamped metal and reduces mass 1,081 g while reducing tooling $240,000 USD and piece cost by $0.28 USD/seat.  The part incorporates plastic clips for trim tie downs required for proper trim appearance and reduces interior noise caused when the seat's plastic bladder rubs against the previous metal support bracket. Additionally, the LFT-PP material meets abusive loading requirements and supports the seat's massage bladder during operation while eliminating sharp edges under the seat. A common design can be used on both driver and passenger seats.
