Both front seat cushions in my 05 Jetta are torn and I was able to find these two good right ones at the junkyard from two different cars. Some jerks had dumped oily engine parts on the left seats making them unusable. Also, tan leather only comes on one out of 10 examples in the junkyard so I felt lucky to get these. Will the right cushion fit the left seat? Best as I can see, they look the same. The part numbers may be different for the passenger seat having a different occupancy sensor, or something else unrelated to fit.

Did this on my E90 as well. Used the foam and the cover. Pass seat foam has the OPDS sensor in it, but does not matter, just cut the wiring going to it. Like having a brand new seat again.
 
Fit perfect but a hell of a lot of work. And still have the other one to do. The best thing is it matches the rest of the seat. Just having a few panels replaced would have clearly stood out.
