A body-supporting component may have a main body. A 3D lattice structure of the main body may have deflection properties portions of the main body. The main body may be formed by a flexible material according to the 3D lattice structure combined with the deflection properties portions.

Body-supporting component and method of producing a body-supporting component

A vehicle seat assembly with a long track that significantly extends beyond the seat. The track defines a slot. A carriage is movable along the track through the slot. A cover is mounted on the track, and includes a plurality of fingers being individually pivotally connected to the track between a cover position and an open position. Each finger in the cover position blocking a portion of the slot from the area outside of the track. Each finger in the open position opening a respective portion of the slot to the area outside of the track. The plurality of fingers and the longitudinal edges of the extension being shaped configured to move the plurality of fingers from the cover position to the open position as the carriage moves along the track and against the plurality of fingers.
