Anyone folded their rear seats yet?

vindaloo · 10-10-2005, 11:19

The reason I ask is that I discovered some 'loose' plastic panels underneath the seat squabs when I pulled them forwards.

They seem to be trim panels to cover the underside of the rear seats. I guess the 'fitter' in the factory couldn't be arsed to fit them, so left them there, loose.

I also guess that carrying any rear seat passengers would have resulted in them getting mullered.

My rear seat squabs are just bare foam and visible metal framework. I'd always assumed that was correct???

(No sense in polishing a turd and that...)

mcbunny · 10-10-2005, 11:56

there is supposed to be a cover on the bottom

ap0gee · 10-10-2005, 12:03

Oh...

That'll be me calling the stealership, then...

My vRS has the plastic, my girlfriends Classic didn't. So I think it's a trim level thing?

Mine's a vRS too, though...

Perhaps it's some kind of lottery!?! Maybe I've won a prize!!!

(Let me guess: the prize is a pair of plastic seat bottom covers!

)

My 2005 vRS Fabia has exposed foam on the bottom of the rear seats... Why do I feel out done all of a sudden?

devonutopia · 10-10-2005, 18:57

tut tut - you don't see it when they're down anyway - and yes, I have bare foam visible, and I want a cover too.

Josh_PoloGTi · 10-10-2005, 19:09

Bare foam on my MY04 vRS.

Weight saving option from the factory.

Greybeard · 10-10-2005, 20:58

Exposed foam here too, same in the Ibiza's IIRC.

Shifty · 10-10-2005, 21:00

L-Y-K · 10-10-2005, 21:49

darren evans · 10-10-2005, 22:10

05 VRS here and bare foam

Tom_vRS · 10-10-2005, 22:15

Could there be a Briskodians revolt? Everyone marching up to their dealers and demanding they have seat base covers fitted....

Any chance of a pic so we can see what we're missing out on?

devonutopia · 10-10-2005, 22:20

I have this image like something out of Braveheart!

Fellow Skodamen! For so long now, our back seats have been left uncovered by ruthless Skoda dealerships!

[grrrrr] Now is the time to fight back! Are you WITH ME! [YEAAAAH] They may take our MONEY! BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE, OUR SEAT COVERS!!!!!
