    seat bolster repair

    Hi All, I'm new to A2 ownership and this forum. I've just picked up an 04 TDI Sport and the driver's side outer bolster is very saggy in the usual high-mileage way. It seems that a replacement driver's Sport seat is going to be a tricky thing to find, has anyone ever tried a foam bolster...
