Bought a gti a few days ago which has a rip in the drivers side bolster. Struggling to get a material match for the upholsterer. Does anyone know where I can get it from? Or do I need a full cover replacement from vw or something? Thanks
-
I tried a while ago to get hold of some and gave up!
-
Ffs lol. Somebody please help lol
-
It's amazing isn't it. We see all the TV programs showing amazing restorations of modern classics and all sorts of clever stuff being done and something simple seems impossible! :fighting:
-
250 for a replacement off vw. That's just the back piece as well. I'd have to pay an upholsterer to fit it me on top of that.
-
@pablo_the_dogg (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=16365) is this any use? I know its rear seats but the material could be re-used lm sure?

Thanks but probably not tbh. Upholsterer wants 1 square metre
-
£250 isn't a bad price off the dealer, I asked about the back of my driver side Pirelli cover £900 plus the vat...
-
still a lot of money though. You should be able to get the material from somewhere lol.
-
Let me know if you do as I can't seem to find any.
Seat back cover and foam is around £350 from VW......

Thanks, have you managed to get someone to repair yours using the fabric?

That's the link.
Ye upholsterer wants £100
-
Cool, any chance you can send me a pic of the damage on the bolster on yours just so that I can compare the the on mine?
Cheers.

Cheers, mine is slightly worse than that.
Would be good to see another pic when it's sorted.
-
Is this including fresh foam padding?
-
Watching this thread like a hawk as mine has similar damage.
Can you repair the foam in the bolster instead of a whole new foam back?
-
The upholsterer I spoke said that he would repair that section of foam.
-
Foam is fine in mine. I'm buying 1 square metre of material and my upholsterer is retriming all 3 pieces on the bolster.
-
Did you have to ask for 1sq metre of fabric as the site had it listed at 1m x 18cm?

It's 180cm you doughnut :P
-
It's 1m x the width of the roll which is 180cm
So I'm actually getting 1.8m2 I think lol

I have sent an email to Classic Car Services to see what the cost would be to resolve the common seat bolster issue. I have also advised there may a few of us from the forum that would be interested if the price is right :happy2:
-
And not 1 thanks was given pmsl
-
oops I misread the sizing, nice one.
Oh and thanks :partywave: :happy2:

They offer anything all the way up to a full bespoke re-trim so they will cater for a panel repair, just waiting on the price.

Oh right. No good to me personally as I'm miles away but hope they sort you out. You owe me a beer then ha ha
-
Had an email back...
'For us to replace the 3 damaged sections of fabric and repair/ rebolster the foam underneath as they usually need a bit of TLC once the cover is off, will cost £280. The result should be as good as new'
A little costly unfortunately as I have found local folk who can do it at a fraction of that cost. Think I will source the material from them to ensure a perfect match however.

At least we won't have a horrible hole anymore :drinking:
