MK6 Golf Seat Covers

[Topend]

I purchased seat covers from Autobarn for my wife's Gold VI but they don't fit. They are Nature's Fleece brand and were a bit short in the back causing the bottom to pull back exposing the synthetic front.

Can anyone recommend a sheepskin seat cover that fits? It would be a bonus if the genuine sheepskin extends to the sides too as I am not a fan of the synthetic material malting on the sides. Otherwise I will look at custom.

Thanks for any advice,
Dave.

Hi,

I would be very careful fitting seat covers to the front seats, as the seats (I believe) include the side airbags. Any seat covers that cover the front seats would deem the airbags useless/inoperative.

Can anyone else clarify this?

[Corey_R]

Yeah - the seat covers would need to be designed with provision for the side airbag.

Apart from that, I can't really help though. I detest seat covers as they don't allow you to sit 'in' the seat properly, which creates strain on the back etc going around corners as the seat can't properly support you etc.

The seat covers I tried are airbag compatable. They have a void where the airbag is located.

I dislike seat covers too but my wife wants them.

Suggest to your wife that maybe she should just wear a cover

Does your wife have experience with sheepskin covers?

I had them in my last car — I quite liked them, but the ladies always complained about static generated by their stretchie slacks against the wool.

As with most extras, they added zip to the eventual resale of the car.

Hey guys

I know there might be a thread about this already but I couldn't find it. Anyways, I'm looking for seat covers for my gti. I've tried supercheap auto and the ones that have a slot for seat air bags looks dud. Anywhere else I can try?

I wouldn't bother.
The seats are fairly high quality and should last.
You can always get a can of 3m scotchguard form bunnings and give them a going over.


To get quality seat covers with airbag flaps built in is going to cost you between $500-$1500


There is also some queries about liability if there is an accident as VW apparently do not allow seat covers.

Exactly

How ever I started getting sweat stains on my GT sport seats after about 2 years even though they are scotch gaurded, I've now resorted to just putting a towel down on long trips.....

Crank the aircon up
You can always get the interior detailed for a small sum which would be cheaper and cause less problems than fitting seat covers which may void insurance etc.
