Good thing we haven't had a proper Summer down in Melb in a while then

A/C on max cools it down pretty fast

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all of the input. In defense of my wife it appears as though the seats were different, insofar as they had the bolster adjustment set differently. The salesmen didn't mention the adjustability of the seats, despite us both mentioning that it was quite tight. We're going to go with the cloth seats and am now just trying to find the right mix of options.

Thanks for all the help.

ok got a response from the friend. she paid $2000 and said that was somewhat cheaper then they would normally charge. blackmans in moorabbin did the work for her..

Mate if you need to convince her to buy a GTI, you in fact need a new wife. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

I can't keep my missus out of my GTI, I swear sometimes she just makes **** up, so that she can take it somewhere

Just reading the superb story on seat comfort in the skoda dept , have to say the seats in the GTI MKV1 ,are the most comfortable i have ever experienced , be it short city commutes or long hauls .

Over the last 20 years with a mix of BMW , HONDA ,SUBARU and SKODA , nothing beats these babies , well done .

+1. They are very, very nice.

Does anyone know where I can get GTD seats from? A few searches recently have come up empty. From the pics I've seen so far, it doesn't look like it has the model embroidered into the headrests like the GTI, so they should be a good fit for a TSI

Plus the grey tartan looks more subtle then the red.

Hey guys
Have had my gti for few months and the car has done 3,000 kms and its mainly driven on weekends for longer trips. I've noticed that the drivers seat outer side bolster trim is fraying. It looks like someone has gotten some sandpaper to it.

I am a very fussy owner and am always carefully getting in/out etc. All my previous cars have had bucket seats but by this rate the seat trim will rip before my first service.

Anyone had any issues? My car is a 2 door so I know due to the longer door maybe it little squashier getting in at car parks etc but still its car upholstery I would assume it should last more than a year.

Any experience with this?
