B pillar cushioning

[burtonshawv]

Hi all,
Has anyone seen/have plans for a padded cover for the b pillar?
My husband states that the passenger seat (bench) is uncomfortable as he is leaning against the hard corner of the b pillar.

Note: no I don't want to change the passenger seat to a single, but will consider adaptations to the seat itself. I'm already looking at adding the reclines bracket from vankraft

This might be worth a look, doesn't direclty answer your question but changes the angle of the bench seat back to a more reclined angle to give a much more comfortable seating position.

Edit: just seen your last line. Can't read, rookie. I'd definitely recommend this as a first route.

Haha, no worries thanks though
I also just realized I had planned on keeping the bottom bulkhead, but I don't this this will work with the recline

Another option is to tilt the seat base rearwards slightly by installing spacers under the leading edge. 3 or more washers at each bolt seems to be the norm.

He could sit in the inner seating position

I'm considering changing the passenger bench for a transit custom one as they look a lot more comfortable, but I'm not sure if it will fit.

Has anyone else fitted transit mk8/custom passenger bench into their T6?
