Sport seats rubbing against roll bar

I asked this question in the FB forums and got the most douchebag answers ever.
My car didn't come with sport seats originally. Since I added them, the seat backs have become pretty trashed from rubbing against the rollbar. It's pretty bad - it will take some filler before painting them to fix them right. I don't even drive with the seats all the way back (wish I could!)

I find it hard to believe that Porsche offered these pretty and expensive seats (some of them painted to match the exterior) that could be scratched to crap the day you drove the car off the lot. My guess is that maybe cars equipped with sport seats had a different roll bar design with more seat clearance? Or maybe they had some padding? Porsche doesn't simply add an option and calls it a day - they go out of their way to change parts around it to make it work and look good. Just look at the aerokit 1 rear spoiler.

Does anyone else with sport seats have this problem? I can't be the only one, but a quick search turns up nothing. TIA!
