Yes it did. I should've been clearer. The ISRI 6800 has an 'adjustable' shock.

David,

When I bought the LXi, The driver's seat had been scuffed badly on the right shoulder of the backrest. This was happening due to the seat back resting against the slide edge. When the seat would work on the air spring, it would cause the backrest to rub up & down against the slide edge. I'm sure some of the damage was done also because the P.O. forgot to move the seat forward before extending the slide.

I already have had the seat recovered with new ultraleather because it looked pretty bad.

Now we have to be careful not to allow the backrest to touch the slide. That makes the seat a little too close to the steering wheel for me.

Does your new seat interfere with the slide when it is being extended? Do you have to move the seat forward to extend the slide? Do you have ample legroom with the seat moved away from the slide?

I'm not sure how we are going to solve this problem. Presently, Tela is placing a towel over the backrest to prevent the scuffing.
