Weekend project .

[Sunny43.5]

Mate asked me a few weeks back to look into making the front seats of a T5 more comfy , so rather than doing his then I pulled my drivers seat out as an experiment {needed a new side panel and foam rebuild anyway } So I modified mine by cutting part of the steel pan on the base of the cushion out . Fitted a door edging trim to the cut edge and then constructed a criscross of elastic webbing across the hole , then glued some special boot liner trim over the webbing and onto the frame . Refitted the seat after replacing the side panel and job done . Verdict very good the seat has more rebound and gives a cushier ride , the seat looks still the same as standard but more softer than stock . So this weekend did both front seats in mates van fitted a pair of pump up lumbar supports into the back rests and replaced the strips of vinyl down both sides of the cushion as they had split , had to do some foam repairs as the sharp metal edges have cut through the foam on the back rest . I will never understand why car makers don't do a better job on the edges as I used to see this problem across the board in my past life ???? So onto the next part fitted a VW bucket seat and seat belts in to the row behind the drivers seat , and finally decided to abuse myself with the ultimate misery by fitting a genuine VW Cruise control . If anyone has done this you will know what I mean . So off tomorrow to get the cruise coded and job is all done . Will post some photos later .
