Standard gti base can this be repaired?
« 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.





or is there any one ie a car upholsterer that can do anything with these?

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.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.
