Hello.
Do you know if the 3 and 5 door variants are interchangable?. Have a rip in the bolster and the leather has ripped so looking at getting a replacement seat on eBay only I have the suede and leather seats and can't seem to find them aside from one 3 seat version

Unfortunately that isn't something I can answer 100%. The seats will be different due to the 3 door varient having the pull handle for it to move forward, with different internals to allow it to do that. As for the covers being different - I don't know. It might be worth asking this as a question in the MK3 forum here - https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/forums/leon-mk3-2012-2020.309/

No problem. When you took the upholstery off for the drivers and passengers seat, did you notice if they were both the same for the bum rest, or did you see they were different?

Sorry I meant to actual upholstery. I have found a driver's seat on eBay but I don't want to buy it if the upholstery for the driver and passenger aren't the same. As it's the passenger seat that's damaged.
The heat pads? It was a number of years ago now but from what I remember they're the same
