Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Owners Manual: Checklist

A practical checklist for Volkswagen Golf Mk7 seat cover care: close Velcro fasteners before getting in, and avoid direct contact between seat surfaces and anything that could stain or damage them. This page gives the complete list of precautions before the material-specific cleaning pages.

    Please note the following for the cleaning and maintenance of the seat covers  :

  • Before getting into the vehicle, close all Velcro fasteners that could touch the cloth seat covers and fabric trims. Open Velcro fasteners can cause damage to cloth seat covers and fabric trims.

  • Avoid the direct contact of sharp-edged items and accessories to the upholstery and fabric trims in order to prevent damage. Accessories include zips, studs, rhinestones on clothing or belts.

  • Dust and grit in upholstery pores, folds and seams should be removed regularly so that no permanent damage is caused to the surface of the seats by scratching.

  • Always check whether garments are colourfast to prevent damage to the upholstery. This is especially important for light-coloured upholstery.

NOTICE

Ignoring any of the items on this important checklist for maintaining the seat covers can lead to damage or discolouration of the seat covers and fabric trims.
  • Follow the instructions on the checklist.

Volkswagen recommends that stained upholstery is cleaned by a specialist company.
