Its still not an MOT testible item, so it should have passed

my worry isnt the mot  - just making them fit

[Ben Lessani]

well, i picked them up and they're great quality - if not a little dirty. after a lot of messing about i managed to get the back seats to just about fit - but not well, so i need to sort them out properly. the drivers seat had the reclining fitting already attached, but i will do it to the passenger seat too.

my question is the back split seats though, they dont fit in when the parcel shelf supports are in place - are they longer on a 3dr? also, there should be mounts to hold the bottom of the seat, on each side, but no corresponding clip to hold it. also, there is a bracket at the back of the seats to bolt into the boot floor, i never managed to lift the carpet out (because it was so dark) to check if the holes are pre-drilled.

is there any chance someone can take tonnes of photos of the 5dr rear seat assembly. i looked through etka, but it doesnt show any of the mounts

[rubjonny]

rear seats are identical, the extra mounting points are located under a plastic trim piece at the front, if you didnt remove this the seats will sit wonky

[Ben Lessani]

i know where the mounts are for the base of the seats. its the back of the seats that need to go on. they have release clips at the top to remove them, but also ahve the same type of pin at the bottom of the back seat on each side....


look at the drawing.

They aint from a MK2 Golf then, maybe from a jetta?  Perhaps Corrado/MK3/Passat??
