+1 for checking the rubber diapham underneath.
If they are broken the seat will feel saggy.
If you need some i have 2 brand new ones sitting here.

| Post subject: | Seat questions |
Good afternoon all The seats in my mini (and the door cards, now that I think of it) are a little worse for wear. The back seat feels fine, but there's a bit of a rip in the dot-cloth. The front seats are under covers, but i know they are FILTHY, and they seem to be caving in when I sit on them. Old foam I suppose. So my questions are: 1. I'm going to give them a clean first and see how they come up. Product suggestions? I have the dot-cloth inserts, tips on cleaning this? 2. Can the foam be redone without having to re-trim the outside? Or, any other ideas as to why the seats feel like they have lost their pizzaz? 3. If i do need to retrim the seats, the dot cloth is supposed to be hen's teeth, isn't it? Has anyone had any luck with reproduction stuff? Cheers! |

So are there only the rubber diaphragm ones available now? Mine have a wire spring base? |

Are they both the spring type? Surely someone could have repaired the seat with a sprung base at some stage. Not to mention it wasn't uncommon for them to use what was availiable during manufacturing. |

They did at one stage have the spring type base, but changed back to the rubber type after a short period of time, The spring type base can be obtained, However I would convert to the rubber type |

From memory (not reliable...) I'm pretty sure they are rubber, not springs. I'll check them out, cheers all! |
