Jetta Seats

Post by diesel freak »

I found a very nice set of Leather seats from a 1994 Jett and I was wondering if the would fit my 1986 Golf Diesel.

I can't say for certain, I don't know which year they changed the mounts.

I got a nice pair of seats out of an '05. They have an inverted T rail in the center. (I plan to use them for ergonomic office chairs. :mrgreen: )
Have a nice day.

Ya know, the bases from the MK3 won't fit in the MK2 or MK1, buuut,....

I once took the foam from an '87 Quantum and put it on a Rabbit GTI base,
and the quantum seat back snapped right onto the GTI base.

They'll fit, but you'll have to swap the covering onto the MK2 or MK1 seat base. I think you'll actually need the late (1990-1992) MK2 bases, due to the location of the swivel pivot point for the seat back.
