Seat wear

Post by Dannyboy123 » Thu Sep 24, 2020 8:05 pm

I've looked at a few used cars that are forsale and seat wear on the drivers seat bolsters and the seat side nearest the door seems to be quite high. Even on cars with around 15000 miles. Is this common? And is there anywhere that can repair these issues?

its a problem with any car with sports seats as most people are lazy and don't lift there arse off the seat they just slide out of the car and that fooks the side bolster

I had my bolster on one of my RS's (B7) and a Scooby replaced under warranty - didn't accept that 12months and 16k miles reasonable for "wear and tear" - To be fair, didn't have a problem with either when I made the claims
