seat bolster wear
Phil Mcavity:
same condition as mine stealth, but mine has 26k on it :sad:
Snoopy:
It seems everyone i have seen suffers it. :sad:
I would expect from previous VW experience that its a 2 years cover on it as its VW themselfs but the 3rd year is a dealer/VWuk cover that can be a real pain to claim from.

I'll post pics of mine tomorrow - I'm quite on the lardy size at 16st and F508 ! The bolster on the right nearest the drivers door is rather creased, on the same hand though is the passenger seat - that 99% accomodated my partner who is 8st F504 is totally mint - if only my back side wasn't so lardy !! Occasionaly I sit in the passenger seat, usually after beverage consumption and think - this side is so much more "bolstery" than mine.
True though didn't expect that on my £25k ED30 !!!

Yeah the problem is when I get out, I swing my legs out first, which means I'm then putting weight on the bolster. Plus I'm a short-arse, so my feet don't even touch the ground when I swing them over, so I have lean forward to get out, putting even more pressure on the seat bolster.
Getting in's no problem since I throw my backside on to the seat and swing my legs over the bolster without putting any weight on them.

I've started pushing the seat back every time I get out of the car to try and stop this happening, a pain in @rse but if you get into the habit its ok
