1954 VW Bug Seat Covers & Padding - Sedan/Ragtop
We are proud to be the largest retailer of replacement Volkswagen Seat Covers in the world. Our 1954 Volkswagen Bug Seat Covers are available in an array of colors and styles. Our VW Seat Upholstery is available in a variety of materials including Basketweave,
Smooth, and Squareweave Vinyl, Velour, and Tweed. All of our upholstery materials can be used in combinations with either Full Insert, which covers the entire portion you sit on, or 12 Inch Insert Upholstery to create a personalized, custom look.
We also offer a complete selection of OEM Classic Seat Upholstery for your 1954 VW Bug.
We highly recommend replacing the seat pads in your Classic Volkswagen at the same time as installing your new VW Seat Upholstery.
Our top quality VW Seat Pads are made with pre-formed injection molded high-density foam rubber designed to fill out your seat properly, giving you a proper fit that will last for years. We recommend purchasing burlap or sisel pads when installing new seat foam. A layer of burlap or sisel will protect your new foam pads from the springs eating into them over time.

Stock VW Beetle Seat Styles:
1954-1964 VW Beetle Seat Upholstery piping runs from left side to right side. There are two slightly different frames for the 1954-1964 seat upholstery. The earlier model seat frame was used by VW in 1954 and 1955. 1956 through 1964 models use the later style seat frame. The upholstery is very similar and can be interchanged but ideally you want to verify which seat frame you have.
1954-1964 VW Beetle Seat Backrest Frames have a bottom bar with a slit across its length. Seat upholstery reinforcement strip tucks in to this slit.
1954-1967 VW Beetle Low-Back Seat Frames look very similar, share the same seat rails, and are often switched between cars when replacement seat frames are needed. The Seat Upholstery, however, installs differently depending on seat frame year. We recommend checking if your seat frames are original for your car before ordering VW Seat Upholstery.
1954-1970 VW Beetle Seat Tracks are the same so the front seats from any Beetle from 1954 to 1970 model can interchanged. Be sure to verify which seats your Beetle has, especially when ordering any custom upholstery which can not be returned.
1965-1967 VW Beetle Seat Upholstery piping runs from front to back of seat backrest. This creates a ??roll over? look on the seat with the face of the seat rolling over to the back.
1965-1967 VW Beetle Seat Backrest Frames have a bar with spikes that puncture through upholstery. Spikes are then bent over upholstery edges once the front and rear upholstery flaps are stretched into place. 1967 Beetles are technically a one year only seat with a backrest release knob on the outer edge of the backrest.

About TMI
TMI Products, Inc. is a family-owned company founded in 1982 by the four Tuccinardi brothers; Robert, Steve, Gene & John. The four brothers found their start in manufacturing by making Volkswagen door panels in their family garage in Torrance, California.
TMI manufactures high-quality interior automotive components such as seat upholstery, interior consoles, floor coverings, door panels, convertible roof assemblies, replacement seat foams, headliners, sun visors, as well as integrated electronic systems.
For more than 30 years TMI has specialized in developing high quality interior components for both classic and current model vehicles.
TMI has developed a highly effective process for matching interior components to the original OEM manufacturing specifications. TMI's team of design specialists examine the OEM fabric and stitching to ensure duplication is authentic and meets or exceeds all safety requirements. All leather, vinyl, and fabrics are manufactured to the original OEM specifications to achieve long-life durability and a look that matches its natural wear.
At the heart of TMI's operation, is a commitment to craftsmanship, safety, innovative design and cutting edge technology, integrated automotive products designed to meet and exceed our customer's demands. Why we choose TMI to manufacture our VW Interior Parts:
TMI is the Only Interior manufacturer that offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
TMI uses Extruded Welt for our Upholstery. That means the color is solid all the way through so even if scuffed it is still the same color. The competition uses wrapped cord; basically a string or white plastic filament with upholstery wrapped around it. If nicked, it shows the white string or plastic inside.
Vinyl Weight; TMI, like Ford, uses heavier vinyl, 30 or 32 oz. as opposed to the 24 to 28 oz. (sometimes 30 oz.) vinyl that the competition uses. TMI Vinyl will last as long the original.
Polyester Backed Vinyl; TMI has Superior Cross-Linked Polyester Backed Vinyl made exclusively for us rather than the low cost "Off-The-Shelf" cotton backed vinyl that the competition uses. Color Correct; both TMI and the competition claim accuracy, however, TMI uses Original Material sources as benchmarks to maintain our color and continues Quality Control checks with every production run. Multi-Needle Precision; TMI has four pre-set Multi-needle sewing machines to sew the exact distance sew pattern of Mustang upholstery to replicate Ford original seam widths. Door Panel Wood Backboard; TMI uses strong top quality Masonite MFD wood for our Door Panels rather than inexpensive and weak cardboard which is subject to failure even upon installation. TMI manufactures their products in the USA
