That is what the English videos indicate. I have some 1/4" foam to use and also 
some other filler. Not sure Moss has any tech videos to help with this; I have 
seen a few pro jobs done with these seats and they came out awesome but it 
seems a DIY could do as well.
I am trying to get the nerve to try it.
I have done a few trial fits and bought a new bag of clips but gluing is making 
me nervous as it is generally non reversible

Regards,

My upholsterer at the time slid foam (about ?? thick) cut to size into the 
pockets- used a ruler to assist getting them into place

I am redoing the seats on my BN7 with a Moss kit. The old original bottom 
pleats were full as Steve notes below but the new kits are not.
Neither are leather.

Richard C


It has been a long time, but as I recall the pleats in the seat bottom were 
pre-sewn and filled out when I installed the cover, but have flattened out over 
the last 18 years of carrying my butt around.  I may be wrong.  The pleats in 
the rear seat pans are still full.
