Roomster 3 - interior - need help!

Allicia8 · 01-05-2007, 22:22

Hi, I'm new here and like the site. I have a Roomster 3 1.9 tdi and it's a fantastic car with only one problem... ivory cloth + 18 month old toddler = euck!
I ordered the 3 because of the spec but there was no choice of interior colour despite me asking. I've had the car 6 months and the seats have already been cleaned twice but still look filthy. Any fluff sticks like velcro making the seats look really grubby. I wrote to Skoda asking if they were thinking of making seat covers or could they let me swop my interior for a nice black Scout one... no to both

The only thing I can think of is to get tailor made seat covers - has anyone been down this route? Any suggestions???

Thanks!

What about a trip to a re trimmer like seat surgeons and get them all re trimmed in black or whatever colour you fancy.

Can you buy the black seat covers or is that not an option - pretty sure I've noticed zippers on mine.

Tailor-made seat covers are perfect solution for your problem...

It's a pity this interior in a bit inpractical as I think it looks really nice and makes the interior nice and airy.

The '3' does indeed now come with a black upholstery option although I realise that doesn't help you much now....

As stated get down to seat surgeons or equivalent and have them re-done in nice easy clean leather

Not sure if there are airbags in the seats ....if there are make sure the seat covers dont stop them from working

If you put seat covers over the seats you will have a problem with the sips bags if they are fitted in the seat, the sitching used on the side with the sips bag is designed to give and allow the bag out in a accident so be careful and check first.
