I washed all my seat covers and found white marks on my radian. :( It hasn't been in an accident, could this have happened from kneeing it to get a tight instal? Can I still use it?

Is that the one you bought from me?!

*I* would be fine with that.

I can't figure out how the white marks got there. My best guess is kneeling in it, but I always put my knee in the butt part, not toward the front.

I'm probably not as consistent with my knee placement. I may need to rethink my installation methods.

I know I've read on here that knees in seats aren't recommended anymore. Too many seats being broken. I was taught to use my knee in my tech class, though. A lot of times I use my hand in the seat but using my knee is faster and I get a tighter install that way.

I use my hand for rf, knee for ff. I feel the knee put too much pressure for rf seats. But if all else fails I will try the knee

Every Radian I've ever undressed has had similar marks in various places.

There have been threads like this before. I think the consensus is that they are normal variations in the plastic that happen from the manufacturing process and are not a concern at all.
