You can even use the etka to find the proper cushions.

Just drill it to the cabriolet 82. You don't have the sport seats, so don't order them for the base or seat bottom or back if they say for sport seats.

Is it easy enough to replace the cushion pads without destroying the seat covers?

You may want to pay attention to the seat back cables, as well as the glides that you have as you may want to replace them as well.
in the archive section I have how'tos for a 93 that I had, one a tone of interior fix's as well as seat repairs.
there is a link in my signature scroll through at your pleasure, most are for 90 digifant cabriolets, but the body and other mechanicals are similar.

The early cars had a flatter seat unless it was a GTi then they got the sport seats.
I think you need this type.

Or follow Briano1234 guide and repair what’s there with some new foam.

MK2 seats aren't a straight fit due to the handle being on the other side. I've made a solution to that if anyone is interested or has access to a 3D printer
