Default Seat foam source

Anyone know if a source for soft back sport seat foams? OEM or aftermarket.

Thanks

I'd contact Autobahn interiors in San Diego.

Thanks Ed, chatted with Tony today. If anyone has any sport seat bottoms laying around I’d be happy to take those off your hands. Thanks!

i take it they don’t sell the foam? I had them re-foam my driver seat when I bought my car many moons ago. The covers were perfect, but the PO was somewhat large, and the foam suffered.

They will build up the foam for the sport seats, but that’s really any of these shops. I would prefer to have the factory new foam there first and then go from there versus a Frankenstein approach. However, sounds like that’s the case for anyone looking to refresh these.

Seat base foams are available ex factory however only with the three switch plus heater cutout. If you have the 8-way seats minus heating you either need to butcher the foam to fit the two-switch cutout - or fit the three switch bezel with blanking plates. Neither approach is ideal however as the seat foam is invisible once covered I'm planning to have an upholsterer perform surgery on my new seat foam by transplanting parts of the original foam to the new one. This should be indistinguishable from the new when done 👍

I think only the standard foams are available, not the sport?

I don't even show part numbers for the sport seat foam on soft back seats, honestly.

Hi Kevin,
The dealer has the part numbers in the Porsche OE Seat Catalog.
The catalog can be found on this page:
