Shouldn't the top be the same as the bottom as it is a FLIP seat?
Don't know much about these but it doesn't look right.

Just found this thread on thesamba:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=276647&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=flips+seat&start=420
Quite interesting in it self but there is a picture half way down the page which shows a flip seat.

I'm sure there are some flip seat specialists on here who can help you.

It looks a little wrong ...however it also looks like you might have it attached upside down.

I think the slightly fatter end of its profile should be at the base in driving position and the top in seating position.

It certainly looks like it is on upside down - which would fix the orientation of the hump - and it looks like the top tapers & rolls around to a much thinner top profile - so no top piping required as the top is a rolled edge.... I'd turn it over first and take another pic before going back to trimmers.
