transporting a pair of fronts seats in a saloon

david75 · 26th October 2013, 21:23

I will shortly be collecting a pair of front seats. What is the best way of fitting them into my 75 saloon to transport them? I'm sure many people must have done this. Thanks.

With a bit of fiddling about, adjusting backrest angle etc, I carried two front seats in the back of my ZT. Make sure that you wrap the base carefully to prevent marking the trim though.

Upside down on the rear seats

I put mine on the back seat leave them in the upright position and put them in upside down so there back to back with the front seats with the top of the seat where there head rest goes on the floor obviously the head rest are removed

If you have the facility to drop your rear back rest, slide them in this way..

I once picked up a full set of front and back seats-it did, however, involves removing the back seat first and leavng it at home...

Arctic has a great photo of how it all fits in a saloon, have a search.

you could remove your front passenger seat before you set off as its only 4 torque bolts then put the replacement in place when you get there and the other one on the back seat, if that makes sense.
