Any way of protecting the bolsters?
« on: October 18, 2010, 03:02:28 pm »
How do.

Can anyone recommend any products that will spring a bit of life/protect the bolsters a bit better? Their getting on 30k now and wearing quite bad, as shown:



Don't really fancy having to buy a new cover from the stealers when i finally goes.

same as above for my leathers too, i just try to take care getting in and out.     have you tried giving the seats a clean with a upholstery cleaner and a wet vac as that could put a bit of colour/life back into them.

seat covers help prevent it too

Try having your seat set at the lowest position (unless you are a short ar$e) - as this helps getting in and out.
