Has anyone bought rubber type seat diaphragms from someone other than Newton Comercial and successfully fitted them without them splitting after a few weeks use?

I bought a pair from W&P on eBay, fitted them at the end of March and today the drivers side one tore and the clips let go. Is this par for the course on repro rubber? Even if I get a FOC replacement I’m not sure I want the battle of fitting it if it’s going to be the same ******* quality.

Newton then?

I fitted one a few years ago ,picked it up direct from newton commercial as i live reasonably close by and its been fine, bit tough to fit that's all, what type of seats  do you have?

Mine are a mk3 seat, so pre floor catch.

I’ve ordered a Newton version now. Will see how that goes.

Where have all the quality materials gone?

Why is it that anything made of rubber is total crack these days? Must be an ‘eco friendly’ manufacturing thing I reckon. Even new cars struggle with poor rubber gaiters etc.
