Wear /padding on Interlagos trim?

[Trefor]

The seat base side bolsters (i.e. the ones next to your bottom) are looking a bit tired after 8 months and 6000 miles on our 56 plated GTi. Is this common? The cloth material itself is fine, just a few creases appearing already. I know this kind of thing happens to leather, but I've not had it on clotch before?

If it gets much worse I'd like the seats retrimmed under warranty - anyone know if this is claimable?

I wouldn't be happy. Mines 2 years old with 21k on the clock and they still look like new, no scuffs, creases or wear of any kind??

My car is also 2 years old and i am in and out of the car all the time, my car shows no signs of wear, i think itdepends on your size and your approach to this.

That said i have seen quite a few showing signs of wear

I think what Chris is trying to say is...are you a bit of a bloater

I always try to avoid squashing / passingover the bolsters. I think this can be an issue on many cars / makes - especially if the bolsters are high like on the GTI.

Mines a 3 door and I always make sure that the seat it pushed back properly after accessing the rear to avoid scraping my way into the drivers seat again.

Try getting into recaros without touching the bolster!

Mine too is looking a bit like that, i also remember others on here in the past talking about it maybe a search as iirc someone got theres replaced.
