Mk6 Seats
« on: 07 August 2010, 09:12 »
Hi all,
Does anyone know what front seats will bolt straight into a Mk6 GTD? The GTi seats obviously will but what about (for example) the Corrado or Seat Leon?
The reason I ask is the standard seats are like sitting in a van (very high relative to the floor/pedals and wrong angle) and my wife resultantly has a bad back and I get cramp in my leg if I drive the car for any long periods. Yes we have tried adjusting the seat into all positions.
Thanks

How about the Golf R Recarros. They should do the trick. You could also find out if VW could lower the seats on the runners, though having just checked I cannot see how. I have/had a similar problem but seem to have overcome it. Hope this annoying and serious problem gets resolved.

I find my seats (cloth) comfortable, except for the under-knee support: it's way too high and almost cuts off the blood supply to my legs after an hour or so at the wheel :sad: Does anybody else experience this?

Not suffered with this problem, fortunately.
Having long legs, I wish the squab was a tiny bit longer for a bit more under thigh support. :rolleyes:
