Hi all,
First of, I love the GLI and there are almost no complaints besides the front driver and passenger seats. I don't know what it is, but I am getting a constant pain on my left back thigh that runs down to calf/knee area. I am always moving and jerking to get a comfortable position. I do understand I have a gained a few pounds lol but I doubt that is the reason. I drive my wife's car and other vehicles, and I feel fine. She does drive an SUV and the seating position is different. I have tried a cheaper solution which is buying seat cushions. I have gone through 3! They all get returned.
If this continues I will have to switch cars which I don't want to. I realized it will probably be cheaper to get seats than pay $2,500-$3k for a new down payment and be upside down.
My questions to you.
- Has anyone experienced similar pain?
- Which aftermarket seats do you recommend?
- Does a Tiguan, CC or Passat seat fit the Jetta's?
I know Recaro has a few that are designed for lower back and such, but they go for $4000+! I would like to get one with a motor function or atleast height function.
Anyways,
Here are some I have found online.
My top choice is this one: http://www.carid.com/2015-volkswagen-jetta-seats/braum-elite-seats-87673144.html with black and red stitching.
https://www.amazon.com/Type-R-Leathe...NVWMM6CCWEQGB&
This one reminds me a lot of the current seats. They have the red stitching.
