Cabriolet seats
Looking to buy front lower bolster for my gti cab.
Newton comercial have them listed http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/cars/vw-golf/model-134/seats/3198-products-3198/
has anyone ever used them and are they the right ones?
Are cab and tin top the same?

I don't think these were fitted to the cabby.
Early and late seat foams are one piece.
Have a look in the how to section under forums and look for seat refurb.
Which year is your cabby?
Cheers

Just got off the phone to them, they said all mk1 seats are the same… Woman on the phone didnt sound like she really knew what she was on about.
Will rather listen to your advice and look at the how to section.

It's a similar process I would imagine for most seats.

note that 90spec mk2 seats are different, and dont go by based on the age of the car theyre in either as they might not be original! look closely at the shape of the seats to confirm they are what you need. the 90spec seats are subtly different, lower bolsters are more rounded and the backrest tilt arm bits are a lot longer so seats tilt much further forwards

Foam
no metal bars as they are designed to just replace the damaged side.if you buy the original part from vw, they do have all the bars and are a complete replacement.
