Title: any ideas?
Post by: peter the butcher on 27 July 2013, 17:54:14
It had to happen >:(
                 a friend was taking the car out for a spin, in the big farm yard at work, and he put a nice hole in the drivers seat, when the window caught the end of his ciggie ( I know, should not smoke ). Is it a new seat or seat cover, or something else.
its right on the edge, so cannot be hidden, and you see it every time you get into the car

Seat covers are discontinued at vx, almongwith door cars btw.

Easiest is to swap the seat out as said.

As others have said, replace the seat with one from a breaker.  If yours had heaters, ensure the replacement's heater works first.

aren't they separate heat pads in a fabric seat though ...... easily swapped if the replacement's don't work.  ;)

Still a lot of fiddly faffing about - for some reason I find messing with the seats really awkward  :-[
