Default Seat Question

My drivers seat is kind of a wreck, but the passenger side is fine.

I was wondering if I can swap the seat pads from the passenger side to the driver side? I have standard (not sport) seats.

Thanks

Early C4s are interchangable. The seatbacks are sort of hard to swap though. I rotate them on my 87 every few months so I dont end up with one worn out seat.

Look under the seat, toward the front you should see a wire hooked on the plastic bottom. Just push the wire toward the back and the seat should pop out. I just leave mine unhooked so I can take out the bottoms to clean them. The backs come off but are a PITA to get out.

The seat bottom should be swappable as is the entire seat assembly.

So are the late.
A very easy swap, I might add.
You might also want to consider swapping the power seat bases, as the driver's base gets 10x the use that the passenger side gets. They will also interchange.
