N3WOB Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Seen quite a few nearly new, and the bolsters seem to loose shape/crumple quite easily...have I just come across some poorly maintained or is there a more genuine issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Mine was ok after 6k miles - and its not like I am a light weight........I think it depends how you get in and out, I guess if you just plonk yourself in - I always tried to sit over the bolster so as not to put aditional strain onto it........

N3WOB Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Fair dinkum...thought it might be like the original 32 saggy seat syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I've seen a few saggy ones when looking around and maybe I was just overly cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly as it is! Treat them with a bit of care, don't crush them getting in and out and they'll last reasonably well. I keep mine treated with Gliptone and it seems to work a treat on the creases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3WOB Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Are the RS4 seats more hardy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Pretty sure they are identical minus the embossed RS4 logo. Seen a few nice examples with low mileage and destroyed seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Are the RS4 seats more hardy? [/ QUOTE ] No, there's been a fair bit of discussion in the RS4 forum on RS246 about the bolsters sagging and looking naff - in one case after less than 100 miles.

S3ENVY Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just to confirm... We are talking about the bucket seats here as no-one has mentioned this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
