Seat interchangeability -- '86 Cabriolet

Apr 10, 2004 1 Replies

OK, with all your generous help, my girlfriend's car is now running like a swiss watch, and we're turning our attention to creature comforts like fixing the stereo and replacing the seats. Her seats are worn out, and she never liked them anyway -- recarro (sp?) style. She'd like to buy some used replacements in good shape, maybe on ebay. But, we need to know which years and models are interchangeable. Anyone help with that? Also, is it difficult to convert to a heated seat if the car originally did not have one?



Thanks, Jon (for direct replies, remove nsp)



I know rabbit seats will fit... but the mechanisms to adjust the seats are backwards... I put the cabriolet seats in my rabbit... those recarro style seats are awesome and really comfortable IMO... maybe you should just try repairing the seats and with all the padding they had as new you will probably find they are comfortable!

I think the recarro seats were top of the line in VW's... I don't know what other manufacturers seats you can fit in without modifying
