Would anyone have any advice or guide on how to swap out a seat base ?

Thanks!

Im planning to swap the worn drivers seat which has height adjustment (from my 4x4) with a base sourced from a passenger seat (with no height adjustment.

Im assuming this is possible?

If so, any challenges?

Not something I have done, and the 4x4, seats are slightly different, at least they have different parts numbers

@irc is your best bet

They imply it's possible here

Hi Fiat collective genius... I've just acquired a 55 plate 4x4 1.2 Had a search of the forums but can't seem to find this particular answer... will the front (and rear) seats from a 319 generation bolt into a 169? All the discussions seem to be about 500 seats into a 169 or a 319, but I...

Thanks @koalar appreciated.

@irc mentions the base swap with height adjustable is still 'easy'.

I'll be swapping a 4x4 passenger seat that does not have height adjustment to drivers side with height adjustment.

Fingers crossed!

If just swapping the seat base cushion, its just 2 bolts to remove and have a look. Should be the same on 4x4, I think the difference is in the material covering.
Look under the front of the seat, 2 bolts (10mm i think).
Height adjustable seats have a pair of holes which some of the non-height adjustable ones don't have. But strangely, the non-height adjustable passenger seat of Height adjustable ones often have the same holes. (Not sure that sentence makes sense, but you'll see if you take them out)
