A common problem on the VW Golf GTI and in fact any car with sports seats, is that the foam inside the seats can degrade where it gets most rubbed and squashed.
I've replaced the seats in my VW Golf but needed to take the seats apart to repair them and this shows how bad the seat foam inside the seat can get.

With the cost of parts at the moment for a MK4 Golf that these seats have come from it is far cheaper to buy a second hand set of seats from a breaker than trying to repair the existing seats. You can
remove the seat covers for cleaning as shown in this video and
easily remove the seats from the car to swap them for replacement ones. I found mine on Ebay and there are generally lots available. In fact I bought the replacement seats for such a good price I made a profit selling the rear blue material seats to someone needing the middle seat belt design.
