Mk5 front seats change

Postby Deko » Wed Feb 14, 2018 4:44 pm

Hello. Due to family expansion I need to change the single passenger seat in my mk5 2,5 TD for a double bank (previous owner already changed it to a single seat). As here around (Slovenia) it is almost impossible to get the original mk5 front seats I would appreciate if anyone would know if the later (mk6, mk7) front seats would fit straight in my mk5 as these are relatively easy to get? I would change the complete front set of seats with the frames as existent are some custom made.
Thank you in advance!

They are a completely different setup you may have to get measurements of a mk6 and see if you drill the floor where you can put nuts and strengthening plates underneath also have a look at twin Minibus seats

Thank you for the advice. Now I have another problem. I got the mk4 double bench which fits in but have no idea where to install belt latches and two point seat for the middle passenger. The seller just gave me a belt and two belt latches. Has anyone an idea or can share some photos?

Shame you're not in England - I want a single front seat to replace the double in my mk4! I've also got the 3 seat crew van seat in the shed.
