Great info thanks.
Still couldn't find seats in any of those links.

Seats or seat covers? For covers see www.jbugs.com.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee and Cars all have in common?
They all Start with good GROUNDS.
Replace all of them that you can, 99 percent of flakiness will disappear.

The frames are good but no stuffing. I figured it would be just as easy to replace the whole seat. Now I have towels and a cover on it.

For the foam you are looking at around 350.00 for the foam from the dealer, but I would think a good automotive upholstery shop could make it.
You might be better served in looking for them on the classifieds at www.thesamba.com as well as www.vwvortex.com

I've been looking around everywhere for them. Passenger seat is OK, driver's is bad. All the junk yards around here don't have any parts. They blame Cash for Clunkers for no parts. I will keep looking. I can deal with a crappy seat for a little while. There is always something to fix.
Is there a site that says which seats will fit in mine?

any mk1 seat will work, even mk2 with little or no modification. MK3's need to be modified.

Thanks. Old Porsche seats should work too. Right?

I don't think so without modding the lower frame.

You need to be careful of going to shop to get your seats redone. I looked to get the seats in my Cj redone and it was cheaper to buy new ones...

I got a quote to do the center sections of my seats at a Auto Upholstery shop... Just the centers of the sport seats, 500.00 dollars.
That is about the price of front and rear covers.

My sister in law is a seamstress. I might be able to talk her into making the seats.

I just ordered my first rabbit parts from www.autohausaz.com.
It was very easy. Almost a bit too easy. Anyhow, I will report back how long it takes to get the parts and the quality of them.
I ordered the brake reservoir cap, Bentley Repair manual, and Bosh wipers. Shipping was free since my order was over 50 dollars and the order came to 51.80.
They had the cheapest price on the Bentley manual that I could find @ 37.50. The replacement wipers, not the refill was only 3.75 each!!!

Autohausaz.com and germanautoparts.com are both very good, and complement each other well. If you can't find something at one of them, the other one may have it. I tend to go w/ germanautoparts simply because they're closer to me geographically so I get the parts faster. If it's a big ticket item, I compare the prices between the sites. I would recommend calling both companies first prior to placing an order to make sure the part is in stock if it's something you need quickly. I've ordered stuff online before that was listed on the sites, but turned out to be on backorder indefinitely. The sites don't always tell you that.

That's what I've done with my jeep parts. However, I couldn't figure out where German auto parts was and Autohausaz.com had free shipping if you spend over 50 dollars. I figured I would have the stuff by Saturday since it's going to rain here until then...

Very good post's! Thanks alot it's very appreciated, Any rare part's such as the 1979 extra gas tank that goes where the spare tire is located?
I'm so glad I found this forum, finding all these companies on my own would have taken ages! Very much appreciation!
