yeah comfort has to be a high consideration
I would think they are better than the stock standard Caddy seats, but that said, I find my seats actually quite comfortable so anything extra woiuld feel almost luxury hahahaaaaa :lol:
Funnily enough I don’t find my stock seats too bad, not had the caddy long and I thought the seat upgrade almost a must given the amount of people changing them. For me the only criticism is on the stock seats is that they’re a bit narrow so there’s not much room for slouching about in the seat and it’s not like I’ve got a fat arse either Image

@Stu
Meet you halfway !
Changzhi, China apparently :lol:

Other Caddy-Std-Width runner seats are Seat Ibiza4 (FR are nice) and Polo 6.
They all changed about 2018 I think.

I have also fitted Tiguan 2 seats (V.Comfy for me) on Caddy bases with only minimal work narrowing the rails !?!

Carpet lining arrived this morning so obviously its pouring with rain. instead I consoled myself with bunging on the new handbrake button (it's shiny and silver without the annoying scratch down the front). Also bunged on some wind deflectors, just deciding what else to do in the front. Either new seats or covers will be in the near future though.

Finally got around to running the cable for the rear view camera part of the Vantrue dashcam.

Mounted low on the tailgate, just above the wiper, so had to run through the rubber tube in the hinge etc.

Pretty stealthy

@Stu_b

Yes, picture is good 👍

Factory tinted glass, so not too dark.
Creates some good reflections though.

Have to post a rearview grab ...
