your right, the seats should'a been in recall.

after i leave my car parked in the sun while im at work, the heat "fixes" it, it stretch's back.

What causes the seats to bubble? where in the seat are most of you experiencing bubbling?

High quality leather furniture will not display the same bubbling effects that many of us are experiencing. I've had my leather sofa and chair for 5+ years now and no signs of bubbling whatsoever...just normal stretching of the leather is all.

Check out this thread as there is a ton of information here...

mindonmatter

I bought my G new, 2 months ago, and already have the bubbling.

I was aware of this issue before I even bought the car. I tried taking precautions, never had my wallet in my pocket, etc. I'm 6', 175 pnds.

how bad are your bubbles? where in the seat are they located? is there anyway to fix them

I had an '03 Passat with 159K and never had any seat problems. Doesn't sound kosher to me!!

is there anyway to fix the seat bubbling without replacing the seat? i mean there has to be a way to condition it or something the dealer can do right?

You could take it to an upholstery shop. They can remove the leather, apply adhesive, then put it all back together.

Dealer will just replace the lower cushin.

so the dealer does not replace the whole seat? just the lower cushin? why does the leather bubble up a little from sitting on it? what causes it to do that

The adhesive that hold the leather to the foam is weak. It fails and the leather lifts from the foam.

No the dealer does not put in a new seat, just the lower cushion

Look in the main thread on the issue. There are pictures there to compare to.

its just hard to understand that after driving with 815 miles on the car the seats would show a little wear in on the leather. i mean maybe the leather is suppose to wear it that way i dont know. After sitting on leather for awhile i doubt you can find a seat that looks brand new what do you guys think?
