SEATS - difference in 3dr and 5dr....

[e30adz]

its just 2 cables. 1 short & 1 long, plus the lever mechanism, all the guides etc are already on the seat frame. hardest part is getting the seat covers on & off, rest is straight forward

Im slightly puzzled now, my new 5dr seats have one hook to release them and a small plate to stop them reclining. The seats that were in the car when i bought it, i believe, are converted jetta seats (although not 100%) and these have two hooks to release the seat. Have u come across this?

proper 3 dr seats have 2 hooks.


5 dr have one hook and a plate with a bolt holding them in place.


sounds like you may have a set of corrado seats..

These are my old seats. Lovely aren't they!!!
The rears seemed to fit the same as golf ones with no mods. I thought corrado ones needed modifying?
The reason i thought they originally came from a 5dr is the release mech's dont look standard. Where the handle is was a mess and the wire in the seats looked bodged in as was connected with chocolote block style connectors.
Could the bases have been swapped for three door ones meaning it would have 2 hooks?
