Title: Seat fitment help
Post by: stainesy on 05 May 2013, 13:23

Ok I am picking my new mk3 up at the weekend.
I have a set of Toledo seats half leather ready to go on.
They are from an R reg same reg as the golf I'm getting.
After a search on the net I think Toledo seats have the same base as the mk2 golf.

Can somebody please post a pic up of a mk3 golf seat base. Please so I can see. I can't bloody remember what they look like lol.

This is the base from the seats in question.

MK2 and MK3 are different. I know this coz my mate wanted to put some MK3 highline leather seats in his MK2, but he had to swap the runners over.

So if the Toledo seats same as MK2, then some modification is required for them to fit in a MK3.

I've swapped seats in my mk3 recently (actually only swapped seat base of drivers seat for a height adjustable one).... and this looks to be the very much the same...

Ah sweet cheers dude. Got a feeling the mk3 seat base has one of the runner arms that bends out different to the other one.

No there's a difference of 2".
The seats from the Toledo are same fit meant as mk2.
So I could ither heat and bent the outer runner arm or take seats apart and swap bases.

Swap seat base, quick job...

If you need I still got one driver's base, non-height adjustable.... will go for scrap soon so yours for the taking.

Yeah I thought I may just do that. It's cool mate I will just use the ones I take from the mk3. I can then put them together and sell as mk3 seats to fit a mk2.

Ok seat base now removed ready for mk3 base.
Was soooo easy to do. 
I take it the backs will just go on without mods on the mk3 base?
