Seat repair

Can any one tell me if a 307 / 308 drivers seat will fit my rcz as i need to remove my seat to have some stitching done on the side bolster as I’m a fat bastard

If it won't try the breakers you may get lucky & they sell you one of a set sadly the leather drivers seats in nearly all of the top spec apart from the R are defunct of any real padding hence they all appear to dip in the middle spoiling the interior some owners have been known to recover the seat

It’s only come unstitched on the side bolster iv been given a price of 60 to 100 to have it put right I might just take the seat out an leave the car at home an get a lift into work for a week

Assuming they need to peel away the bottom skin ask them if they could perhaps insert a thin piece of extra foam padding under the seat to stop it puddling before rest itching it together?

It’s the side bolster on the back rest the base is fine

Hey there, have exactly the same issue. Took my car to a guy who stated it would cost around $275 to fix ( I’m in Aus) his one concern was the seat covering could be stuck to the foam underneath as apparently is the norm for some other Peugeot models, and he wouldn’t know for sure till he got the seat out to have a look.
so hope you don’t mind but was wondering if you managed to get your fixed? and was it an issue or easy fix ion the end….as a whole new seat cover is like $6000 Au

Mine separated at the top just like in the photo above. It cost me a couple of hundred Oz dollars to get it fixed. It's a seat out job. He said he's got to be careful to use the right thread because of the side airbag. It has to be able to burst through. It's easy to push there with an elbow getting out.

hank you so much…such a relief. Exactly, all my other seats are in perfect nick. It’s my daily ride so getting in snd out constantly definitely puts strain on that point

Had mine fixed here in the uk , if I remember correctly it cost £120 he told me it was pretty straight forward an it was the first modern seat he had done as he normally fixes up 50s an 60 s classic car’s interior’s .

Wow thanks for posting the picks…puts my mind at ease…looks like a common problem, as a driver you just can’t help but put some weight into the area to get in and out of the low car
