Spec Boxster Build

I am the proud owner of a set of cloth GT3 seats for my Boxster (alien ones) and the Velcro on the seat base is worn and would not hold the cushion under the thigh in place. I see that the original Velcro strip is sown on so I am trying to figure out how can I replace it. Maybe some of you have had a similar issue and can help with some advice. Thanks! I can find sticky Velcro but that sticky part prob won't last long in cloth.

On my driver seat (I have cloth Recaro seats too, not the GT3 seats but similar) the bottom of the seat cushion is worn where it attaches to the seat base Velcro, and when I have the sub belt running under that cushion and out the front of the seat, the seat cushion slips on the Velcro, because the cloth is worn where it sticks to the Velcro. In your case, if it is the driver seat, maybe swapping the driver and passenger seat cushion may provide some immediate relief.

The Velcro on the seat bottom is unfortunately not part of the removable seat cover:

Hopefully some of this will give you some ideas...

Yeah I have exactly the same issue especially with the sub belt that came included. I think it's a combination of the Velcro and the cushion being worn and I already swapped the drivers seat but both are bad. Maybe there's something I can do about the Velcro but is ther any way to recondition the cushion cloth and not having to buy a new one?

I think the seat cushions (at least mine) have a Velcro flap so you can remove the foam cushion from inside. You could remove the cushion and then sew a piece of Velcro onto the seat cover that lines up with the Velcro on the seat base. I am looking into that because I don't want to swap my seat cushion (one seat is newer than the other and I want to keep the new cushion on the new seat )

If you do (or I do) we should make a DIY thread We have probably hijacked on this thread enough
