3 door seats in 5 door - camoturd - 09-03-2014
As above what do I need to do?
Reason is 3 door seats are always on sale and usually cheaper as well. So before you say don't bother that's why
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - Toms306 - 09-03-2014
You 'just' need to swap the seat bases over from yours to the 3dr ones. But they aren't just screwed on unfortunately, needs to be cut off and welded on afaik.

Just go to the scrap yard and get some nice 5 door seats.
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - MY95 - 09-03-2014
Theres a guide on this on either this forum or theywhoshallnotbenamed.
I posted a question about this a few weeks ago on here.

you can do it on some seats but it ends up with your seats an inch or two higher, didn't work on drivers side though as it was different so i had to retrim it . .
you will need a grinder . .

big faf about mate, took me 2 days to sort it all out, i only did it because i got some blue fleck S16 seats, best seats ever put in a 306, seriously just keep your eye out for a 5 door set, much much easier . .
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 15-03-2014
http://www.theywhoshallnotbenamed/index.php?pageid=3doorseats found this link because I'm thinking about doing it o mine. From what I've heard the rear seats won't click into the upright position is this true? Mods to help fix?
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 16-03-2014
Anyone?
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - Mattcheese31 - 16-03-2014
They don't click in no, you'll just have to invent something mate.
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 16-03-2014
Fair enough won't be the first time I've gone macgyver
Re: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 29-03-2014
Right incase anyone is still interested I started today by putting the rear seats from a 3 door to fit in my 5 door properly so they click in.
[attachment=14742]
So undo the rear covers on the zips
Also undo the two torx screws that hold the catch bit in place [attachment=14743]pull the seat cover forward. You can now put your hand inside and unclip the headrest bits. Two tags either side squeeze together and pull out from the top[attachment=14744]slide the.new seat cover in do the zips up and push the headrest bits back in. They will click back Into place.
You will be left with an odd shape hole that the 3 door cover has that 5 door doesn't you need to mod it like this
[attachment=14746] screw the cover back on. Now they fit and click in
[attachment=14747] and half way done. I'm going to do the fronts soon. Can put up how to swap the fronts soon when I do them if you need to.know.
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - Mattcheese31 - 29-03-2014
that's a good idea actually, i found a way to do it without involving the grinder lol, i think i might do this as i have some spare 5 door seats, would be a bit tidier . . . .

I'm going to be doing it in the next few days not sure when yet. I'll take pictures and write it on here for others to see. I picked up the blue fleck ones in the pic for a tenner. So worth a try

So did u just take the padding of the 3 door seats and put on your 5 door frames if so is it simple to do or take a good while?

Fitted front seats today. They are a bugger I used this guide a little and made rest up. It's doable but took me around 3 hours with a bacon sarnie in between

Portsmouth mate guessing far from you lol
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 31-03-2014
Yeah a touch I'm Suffolk way
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - camoturd - 31-03-2014
Lol anyway I heard doing it the guide way the driver seat is a little high
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 31-03-2014
A touch but not excessive it was a pain to do drivers one tbf
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - camoturd - 31-03-2014
Ah fair enough so passengers was easy then
RE: 3 door seats in 5 door - bashbarnard - 31-03-2014
So easy I'm going to remove the up down adjuster today on drivers to make it sit a little lower but involves making a very simple bracket. When I make it I'll take measurements and put on here. That way really easy to get the right height seat.

yeah i followed that guide BUT . . . . . .if you're fitting S16 seats like i was the drivers seat is different and the guide doesn't work, that's why i ended up re-trimming the drivers seat, swapped subframes on the passenger though and i wouldn't want to be sitting that high up myself, adds another inch or so . . .
