What This Product Does

Positioned between the backrest structure and its covering, this moulded foam supplies padding and maintains the upholstery profile. Renewing this component allows damaged padding to be addressed as part of an original-seat repair rather than requiring an entire replacement seat.

Functions

• Cushions the frame beneath the backrest covering.
• Maintains the contour beneath the upholstery.
• Replaces padding that has become flattened or misshapen.
• Supports refurbishment of the existing seat.
  
  

Technical Details

• Current part number: 99652153504; earlier reference: 99652153500.
• Position: outer front-seat backrest frame.
• Applicable to either front seat, left or right, when the specified seating configuration is present.
• Each supplied diagram records an assembly quantity of 2; this does not identify a two-piece sales pack.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

• Padding remains flattened or has lost its original contour.
• The upholstered backrest appears uneven.
• Cushioning feels inconsistent across the affected area.
• The covering develops slackness or creases.
• Foam fragments become evident when the upholstery is removed.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters

Repeated use, ageing and exposure to heat can leave foam brittle, cracked or permanently compressed. Renewing deteriorated padding helps recover the intended contour and gives the covering a suitable underlying support. During dismantling, examine the upholstery, frame, retaining hardware and adjustment components so that separate defects can be identified.

FAQs

What is included in this component?
It is backrest-frame padding, not an assembled backrest, upholstery cover or metal frame.

Does the same foam serve both front-seat positions?
Left and right applications are listed, subject to matching the required seat specification.

Can this form part of a seat refurbishment?
Yes. Assess the covering and associated hardware alongside the foam before reassembly.
