I need....
Some foam capping for the bulkhead.

We've got the new seats fitted and it's fair to say that they position you closer to the steering wheel than I'd like. I can push the seat back further, but it means the lovely nappa leather will rub on the bulkhead.

Can anyone suggest anything ready made I can get. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Quick temporary solution might be some pipe insulation.

Long term solution might be bulk head removal bar look HERE

If you decide to go ahead with the bulkhead modification route, you could purchase seat risers/extension rails sold by the likes of Mud Stuff and other reputable manufacturers so you can move the seats further back for a better seating position (if that suited you) and much better leg/knee room.

I've had them in my Defenders and really recommend this mod. Thumbs Up
