Now I'm not a small fella by any stretch of the imagination so at 6'4" and 18 stone I know the seat bolster is going to wear differently to that of someone a lot smaller but what do you think is acceptable? the drivers seat door side bolster has kind of collapsed,it's not worn but the 'bucketed' design has taken a real hammering. I do try and lift myself over it cos my Rocco wore poorly too. She's booked in for a service in two weeks so I will get the stealer to take a look. Does anyone know what the warranty time is on interior trim or am I p!ss!ing against the wind?
Cheers

I don't think it should of collapsed mate, my cloth ones are fine apart from some crinkled material my cars 2 and a half years old now.
You've seen me as well so you know i'm not a little bloke! :grin:
Take it in, your dealer seems to be quite cool so worth a shot.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to mention it. Gotta worth a shot? Cheers mate.

6 months on such items. On the terms and conditions on vw website.

Mines fine, moan at them (simillar height and weight btw)
-
I'll give it a shot and report back cos no doubt someone will be thinking the same.
-
Any chance of a pic for people to compare?
-
Yeah I'll give it a go tomorrow.

so worth a shot

Yes and mine was refused under VW terms and conditions. Guess his dealer wangled it.

Key I think is that their warranty is for the covers not the internal foam/structure. So, if it is the internals that have failed then you should be OK.

Nice one thanks.
