Seat bolsters.

Post by Rafolian »

Does anyone here know if the seat bolsters are interchangable as if so I want swap them over, as even tho' the drivers one looks perfect there is a faint sag on RH side which is a bit uncomfortable on my right leg.
I have had the seats out before to fit Acemans bushes so was wondering before I pull them out again if anyone knew.
I don't see why they shouldn't be the same, but you never know!

Don't know about the bolster but I had my seats refurbed a couple of years ago and the whole base of the seats were swapped over for the same reason.

You would need to replace the complete piece of foam.
I found that a good fix is to glue the "broken" foam bolster with good RTV and on top laminate with a piece of fabric prior to replacing the seat covering.
I posted some pics about replacing my seat leather here:

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

At least on mine, due to aging the foam was so powdery, that duct tape would not have stuck well.

Aye, Sailor Baz, half hour north of Benidorm, wee bit warmer than Bangor! And no duct tape required, everything in perfect nick even after almost 17 years, German engineering!!
