as topic suggests, the side bolsters are starting to sag quite badly on the drivers seat of my beloved octy, can they be replaced seperatly or is the base foam 1 complete lump? i've changed the sides on the recaros in my sierra cosworth easy enough but never had an octavia seat apart.

You can buy a foam base from the dealers for £75 i bought 2 last month and did both my front seats.

There is a guide on here to do it also, basically the same as the Recaro's though.

I did a how to on this a while back.

Here it is. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/169597-seat-foam-base-replacement/page__p__2060149entry2060149

the foam normally splits on them, i took my seatcover off on that side(dont need to take it all off) then glued the foam back together and taped it up with gaffa tape its been mint of 3 years now .

and if you interested in buying it a replaced the foam with a new one from the dealers at £75

foam also compresses and deteriorates over time, hence why changing the drivers if it is worn is not a bad idea, glue wouldnt have fixed mine, and i like to repair things properly anyway.

The base is 1 entire piece unlike recaro seats, so the 2 bolsters and seat base are part of the same piece for £75.
