seat bolster problem
« on: 25 October 2011, 17:35 »
The drivers seat bolster in my mk4, mainly the side near the door, is starting to sag and i need to sort of squeeze it together sometimes..
Does anyone have any good methods of repairing the seat bolster?
I was thinking expanding foam.. haha

Took me an hour or so.  Didn't remove seat from car.  The foam cost around £70 for our Recaro.
