Seat question,

[smygolf]

Is it possible to switch left/right seat qushion? Its nearly impossible to find a left seat in good condition but rights there alot of :)

Yes, but you will have to patch the hole where the controls used to be.  The repair will be fairly inconspicuous as it will be covered by the center console.

Good auto upholstery shops can rebuild the seats.

I guess you mean the whole undercarriage?

I was more thinking of the qushion, not the carridge it self.

The cushions are fairly inexpensive.  I thought you were referring to the leathers.  Or did you mean both.

Im Swedish so my English aint the best ;)

 

Both :)

Yes,  You can switch sides with both.  On the door side of both seats, you'll need to cut out the leather to accommodate the controls.  Conversely you will have a hole to patch on both seats when you make the swap, because the old hole will be now on the inside.  The patch will be fairly inconspicuous because it will be mostly hidden my the center console.

When I repaired my seats, I thought I would also replace the cushions and the leathers.  But after I took them apart, I ended up only replacing the leathers as the cushions, springs and frame were in great shape. If you end up taking things apart, I would suggest strongly considering adding heated seats.

 

Here are some before and after shots as well as a part schematic. Let me know if you need part numbers.

Perfect!!

I allredy have heated seats.

The leathers looks fine but its streatched and the springs are getting bad.

Is it hard to take apart??

[kbrandsma]

Not really, you have to take the seat out, remove all the wiring plugs, etc.

 

You got a PM.
