    Default Saggy seat material

    Hi Folks

    Have a VX and the seats and material are in A1 condition except sagginess on the backrest. I remember somehere that the material is "fused" toi the seat foam and if this is correct how do you "refuse" it to the foam.

    I found this car on ebay that displays the problem.

    Any help appreciated

    I have the exact same problem only with my drivers seat on the bottom.
    I heard their just seat covers over the frame but some more infomation would be great help.

    Your fault - lack of servicing. Stick to your LOG book in future

    Yeah I have the same problem, clear indication of the dodgy material used. Looks like there's been a... "+size" person sitting in the seat for too long! Lol.

    Haha I think that bit of innuendo went straight over Ozzie's head... you'll get there one day mate!

    Well ekles, they all eventually suffer from that problem LOL. But be thankfull, some don't have anything to sag in the first place.
    Bit like "it's better to have had and lost than to never have had in the first place" take my word! LOL

    Im sure that the material on the seats is fused to the foam and i have heard that if it's sagging dont bother trying to fix it just buy second hand seats from a wreckers and put them in yourself less of a hassle than fixing it any other way.
    Im sure getting your car serviced will not have anything to do with getting that fixed they will look at the engine and mechanicle not the condition of the seats
