R36 Seats

[Phrak]

From some time in 2009 onwards, VW were fitting 'sports luxury' seats to the higher-spec Passats (Highline models), but the R36 seats are exclusive to the R36. The sports luxury seats have better side bolstering (compared to effectively no bolstering on the 'comfort' seats), but are not nearly as extreme as bolstering on the R36 seats.

Ahh, right. Cheers for the info, I stand corrected

My R36 seat bolster on the right side where I get out of the car, is still fine to look at, but when you press on it, you can feel that it has collapsed or the cushioning inside it has compressed down somewhat. However, it doesn't affect the support when sitting in the seat and as I say, it looks fine.

Yes that is exactly the same as mine just after 10,000km in my R36. I think that it is very poorly made/design. I wouldn't mind submitting a group claim for a new seat and not just a patch up job!!!!!!

i agree on the new seat rather than a patch job, the seat in my car after 10,000kms was gone and now on the passenger side where there is not much use has worn away between the leather and suede....im up for two new front seats for sure.
