Title: Mk7 gti seat foam
Post by: daytona on 08 August 2022, 08:20
Is it possible to buy the seat foam from vw for the front seats. My driver side has the common breakdown of the bolster. If so, does anyone know the part number.

Been doing a bit of research on this for my mk6. Upholstery repairers for cars just replace the bolsters and seem to layer foam top and bottom to stop a repeat failure. Not looked for a repairer or costs yet as mine is still just about serviceable after 12 years!

I had this carried out a few months ago for a range rover, price was circa £160-180 for the two front seats and left it like new (also had the leather resprayed at the same time) with zero sag.

Had mine replaced under warranty and they tried to say it was caused by the way people get in and out of the passenger side. I informed them it is a well known problem and they were talking crap. Hate dealers trying to fob me off.

Is there much point in replacing it with the same type of foam? Not better getting something better from an upholstery place?
Can you not persue a warranty claim.
