Mine's starting to come away at the seam...  :sad:
Mine are 9 years old, the bolsters are perfect, but the drivers seat has come away a bit on the stitching, someone did a quick job of it when I bought it so I didn't notice :(

the only problem with this, is if you've got a 3 door as the handle to move the seat forward will be on the wrong side

the foam is available from the stealers, I'll try and find out the number for you

You can't just replace the side bolster either, the whole bottom is one piece of foam

I think it was around £45 + VAT for it

I need to do mine in the summer, its only covered 52k but I think the constant getting in and out of short journeys has killed it, I can feel the frame through the fabric now
