Abstract: A method of making a seating assembly includes attaching an electronics module to a seat support structure. A cushion assembly is formed over the electronics module and secures the cushion assembly to an underlying seat support structure. Connecting features of the cushion assembly are flowed into securing channels of the seat support structure to form an interference fit. The cushion assembly and the underlying seat support structure are covered with a water barrier skin to form a watertight seating unit. A seating surface of the watertight seating unit is covered with a coverstock.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a frame assembly have a seat portion and a seatback portion, wherein a seat member is supported on the seat portion of the frame assembly and a seatback is supported on the seatback portion of the frame assembly. Each of the seatback and the seat include a support portion supported on a carrier member, wherein the support portion and the carrier member are comprised of porous non-absorbent materials that are configured to allow water to drain therethrough. A cover member is comprised of a perforated fabric that is non-absorbent, and includes a first portion covering the seat member and a second portion covering the seatback.

Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat that is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. A cavity is formed in a support structure of the seat such that an occupant is supported on a support rib.
