Recaro bolster fooked
« on: 10 March 2008, 21:05 »
My worst nightmare has happened.
no matter how hard i crept in to my car climbing over the bolster to avoid damaging it the inevitable has occurd. Its now limp and saggy or fooked.

can these be repaired ?
or ordered from the stealers ?


has anybody had problems with the bolsters on their Recaro's seats on mk4 .  :cry:

They seem like good quality seats to me. Mine are still in great shape even after 7 years  :undecided:

i think you have to get a new seat, which you can get from anywhere, scrapyard, stealer, ebay etc, just take the covers of yours and replace the ones on the one you get.
