Ok guys,
1992 Mk1 Cabby.
It's got a worn interior. Cloth on heated seats but the bolsters are well worn and the padding has sagged and very soft... Now I'm...err...a big lad...want something tough...looking at a leather retrim but am worried the leather wont stay taught on such soft seats...
Am considering sourcing seats from elsewhere...any suggestions? I've heard some seats do fit right in...
Any thoughts as to what to go for? Shall I retrim and keep the car as authentic as poss or source afresh?
Cheers for ur time!

if you have heated seats sounds like you have a blue rivage model! i would get them retrimmed in leather or cloth! just my 2 pence worth!

VW fabric is very hard wearing in general, but if the padding goes soft it can accellerate the wear. Sit in the passenger seat, is it comfortable? If not consider switching to a different seat shape, especially fi you're retrimming! Corrado seats will bolt directly into a late cabby, and are nice & low. If you can I'd look into a set they are very comfy and iirc the bolsters are ever so slightly further apart? MK3 Golf and late 90on MK2 Golf seats have a slightly different bolster shape too, so try them out as well!
edit: MK2 seats are a direct fit, MK3 seats will fit after swapping 90spec MK2 base frames onto them

if its just the foam thats soft and saggy what about getting some cheap mk1 seats with good foam and swapping them over
