Help Fitting MK4 Golf Leather Recaros in MK4 Polo With Pics

[andy___b]

Hi i recently brought a 97 polo 6n with mk4 golf leather recaros seats fitted, only to find out abit later the back seats wernt fitted proply
its only the back of the back seats that dont lock in place because im guessing the catches from the original seats dont line up with the golf ones so the catches have been removed, but this now meen the seats fly forward under heavy breaking
how can i secure them????
thanks

welcome to the forum

sorry i personally cant help you but im sure someone else will pop along with an answer for you, maybe its just a matter of finding a scrapped mk4 golf and pinching the catches and having to weld them in position, thts wat id look into anywho.

also nice tidy looking polo you got there andy, very smart, you buy it already done?

Yh thts wot i was finking n yh i bought it how it is
also could anyone tell me the sort of price they fink its worth

its a 1997 1.6 GLX open air model
central locking,electric windows, mirrors and roof
done 85k with full service
mk4 golf gti leather recaros
14" deepdish with streched tyres
adjustable coilies all round
debeadged and smoothed rear end with boot pop button in glove box
bad boy bonnet
smoothed 16v front bumper
audi a3 headlight conversion
retrimmed headlining in black
toad alarm
and loadssss more things aswell

erm, well i was gonna say it look different from the front, ie the audi lights, looks nice
and with everything thts done, including the low mileage, open air edition and it being a 1.6 aswell mayber around £2500 to £3k
thts just my guess
as ive seen a standard 1.4 valver all smoothed and lowered go for 2k but yours has a more unique edge to it, im liking it
whereabouts you from?

yh thts y i like it so much cus its so unique, i was finkin around the £2500 mark aswell
i liv in coventry

[racerjonzo]

i paid 2400 wich i thought was a very good price but i had to put an MOT on it and it needed a few little fings to pass but its all fine now
as soon as i seen it i fell in love with it but afta drivein it round im not sure its for me...to many speed bumps and uneven roads lol
im actualy finkin bout sellin it
wot do u think would be the best way of doin tht?

[racerjonzo]

i would post on a couple forums, maybe piston heads, gumtree and autorader....
mainly free ones lol
i can see this getting snapped up quickly if its priced right, and whos happening to be looking at the time.
if i had some money i would seriously consider it but ive just bought a 16valver my self for cheap fixing it up so cant afford another car, but hey good luck with tht
and surely if its just the comfort issue, change the ride hieght and put bigger profile tyres on it to help the bounce
especially when there been so much work done to it to perfect it

to fix your seats, take them out and remove the backs off them. Then get a 6N bench and remove the rear off that. Then just swap them over.

[andy___b]

do u no how to take the back off the seats?
