How easy is it to switch the back of a passenger seat to the drivers side? Its a 5 door I have got

Easy peasy. I moddified a 5 door passenger seat to fit the drivers seat in my 3 door, so not having the tilt mechanism to deal with would make it a doddle.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

As already stated, dead easy. I,ve done exactly that on mine. Only thing is, the seat back adjuster is on the 'wrong' side.

You could always swap the covers and the foam.

Thanks guys, that gives me the confidence to give it a go. Anything to beware of before I start?
