richsmells 2 Posted May 10, 2006 Are your bolsters worn through? If so it may work out cheaper if your purchase a complete seat with worn bolster but undamaged fabric. You can then remove an unworn bolster from another seat e.g. a passenger seat and stuff it into the other drivers seat. Instant new seats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherly 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Does anyone know of a company that can patch up tears or holes on car seats? Ive got a 205 gti 1.6 h reg What style seats have you got fitted? I've got some spare seat covers and seat frame parts from doing previous repair jobs. Might be able to help out too as I'm based close to Southend. Get some pics up and I'll see if I've got the right colour fabric covers. Mart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 0 Posted May 18, 2006 Sorry for not getting back sooner, ive got standard 1.6 gti cloth black seats with red stitching, if you could help me out? As have I, however the seats are knackered, am i best off getting new seats, or completely rebuilding the foam etc myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted May 18, 2006 for foam replacement, look on the main web site, then click guides, and look for james turnells seat bolster repairs. good guide. Done it plenty of times myself. Alastair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only got the grey 1.6 seats which I think are from an earlier model. If you find a set of black seats and need a hand swapping the bolsters/fabric then give me a shout.

jeremy 68 Posted May 22, 2006 I have completely stripped and rebuilt seats on several occasions, mainly due to either bolster foam splitting or rips/tears in the material. In my experience the black 1.6 cloth interior is not worth replacing anymore, as the inherant streght in the material has deteriated due to the sun, and continual abrasive wear from getting in and out of the car. Either get half leathers, or some 309 GTI velour style ones, however full leathers wins IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
