2013 R-Line driver's seat bolster torn

Post by huwlj3 »

Hi all. I have recently purchased a 2013 R-Line. The car is is mint condition and covered 70k miles. The only 'issue' is that the seat bolster fabric has a hole in it. From searching, it appears this is a common problem. Does someone know where I can purchase the fabric as there is a great car upholstery company nearby who could undertake the repair. Thanks in advance.

Chech with upholsterin company maybe they already have a fabric that matches or is 99% close.

You can actually buy seat base or seat back covers from VW, but they aren't cheap at around £260 + but at least you know that they match. I did have some 2nd hand ones a while ago, but have sold them all now.
