Recaro repair
Anyone had any luck repairing the side bolsters on their seats?? I emailed Recaro directly, and didn't get much help.

I searched and didn't find anything useful.

I have a guy that does that, but he said he can't get the fabric. That's why I emailed Recaro directly.

Mine is just the drivers side left bolster. Foam is mostly gone and the fabric has a slight tear.

I just want to get it fixed as it drives me nuts. I shouldn't have to buy new seats because of this.
