Vitara Seats in a Sierra

G'day,

My driver seat has collapsed and i have access to a pair of vitara seats. Just wondering if they are a straight bolt-in or whether i need to do some work.

If its major work would it be worth getting an engineering shop to fit them.

Cheers,
Sean

P.S I did a search and came up with nothing, however if anyone can provide a link i will stand corrected

No, they're not a bolt in.

Try and get the off the rails and see what you have to deal with, but I seem to remember reading some threads indicating that for the driver's side the rails are integrated into the seat. I know that LJXtreem had trouble fitting replacement seats (monza) to his 2door vit.

If you had to pay to fit them, it'd be cheaper to fit a pair of recaros. That kind of custom work (and finding a shop that will take on the liability) will be a real struggle.

Sierras are pretty easy to fit replacement seats to, I'm not sure that vitara seats are the best candidates.

sean if its just the arse has dropped out of the seat have a look underneath, if the spounge has been cut but the wires try fitting an old towel between the wire support and spounge yes cheap fix but hey works a treat if you havent got much to spend make it feel like new again

don't go to the effort for Vitara seats, get something else. I hate my Vitara seats...
