I need to replace my drivers seat, (recovering it is cost prohibited) I have

a line on a perfect passenger seat. Can I switch mounting rails and

everything from the old drivers seat to the new passenger seat. Will that work

and fit????? Dave slap.gif

Can a person swap the rails?

Passenger seatbelt sensor?
TheCabinetmaker
sensor is wired to the seat pad, not the seat itself. They are most all unplugged by now anyway. LOL

Headrests will be wrong. They are angled to be higher in the center. It'll look wrong through the back window. Otherwise it will work.

The mounting holes for the tracks on mine were slightly different. So the pass. seat slides with a little more effort than it used to, but it works.

Mine works fine. I had to replace the sensor. The first one's inside wire insulation had turned to powder. Kind of strange.

I have a passenger seat as my driver seat and you can tell by the angle of the headrest when looking at them through the back window ...

Yup, just like I remembered. Even Stevie Wonder can tell there's a difference.

Right on!!! Porsche could have reduced production costs if they had made them the same.
