AFAIK there's only one difference between the seats.
On the outboard edge of the base, there's a relief in the fiberglass for the tilt adjuster. So if you put a pass. seat on the driver side it will be tight at that location. That is all. |

Try it. Switch the ones you have. It works. The releases will be backwards but that doesn't kill the deal.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) You are correct. Noticeable from rear window by the angle they slope and especially noticeable if the seat fabric doesn't completely wrap around the backside. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=headrest |
