Replacing Driver Seat Cushion for 96 Jetta

Apr 13, 2004 2 Replies

Hi,



The cushion for the lower part of my drivers seat in my 96 Jetta has given out. I want to replace it, but was unsure of the best approach. Should I attempt to replace the foam myself or is this something the dealer should do? Would it be best to just find a new or used seat?



Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated. My arse is really sore.

VW must have really cut corners on these seats! I also have a '96 Jetta with

85K on it and the foam is worn right down to the metal framework ! The seats in my 85' Jetta, '87 Jetta, and '87 Golf are all very firm with each car having over 160K. I have had a lot of luck with "The Parts Place" (888) 432-3548 Auburn Hills, MI. in the past and I'm going to give them a call. In their catalog, they were recommending using a used passenger seat to replace the driver's side because it has less wear on it.

NO! A fat dood was sitting in those seats. My 94 Jetta has 189000 miles and the seats are like new!!!
