Title: Drivers side seat base bolster
Post by amigafan2003 on Jul 24^th, 2013, 4:23pm

Hi All

The drivers side base bolster on my seat has gone "soft" - so much so that I can feel the metal frame.

Has anyone ever put new foam in these seats? Any tips?

It's probably the steel frame gone through the foam & the bit of cloth that's with it (the frame sits in a pocket in the foam) - that's what happened to mine. I replaced the foam and the rubber support on mine as I wanted to see what a new one felt like, not that it felt that different, but I expect you can patch it up instead.

The seat manuals here:

Don't suppose it's available now, but I'll dig out the part no later.

Sounds good Matt.

Looks pretty doable in the manuals.

Found another problem - the "forward" button doesn't work. The seat does move forward if using one of the memory settings so it's not the motor, must be the switch :-( SO it looks like the seat needs to come out to investigate anyway as that's an MOT failure now (boo!).
