Title: Standard gti base can this be repaired?
Post by: alcamistdvd on 26 April 2008, 15:52

right bought some seat's that were in good nick but the bolsters are gone as usual.

i've stripped them down but am unsure of how to proceed with repairing them.
i'll post the pics and see if anyone has any suggestions.

Fill the hole with something soft and Duck tape it up

That's what I did, happened to have some upholstery foam & used that, pretty well the same stuff!

Take a trip to the scrappy and find a seat base with a good matching bolster and swap them over.

Fill it with a silicone sealant, one that goes off quite rubbery. Homebase sealant goes off too firm, but the Focus ones not too bad.
