Default Seat switch.

The driver side bolster on the seat in my 90 Vert is starting to show wear. Can I switch the driver seat with the passenger one? They both appear to have all the same controls.

Those bolsters are part of the seat assembly. Better off pulling the seat, tearing it down, and dropping it off to get the bolster recovered.

Yes

(Do you have standard or sports seats? I can't recall if the controls on the seats are one the "same side" or "opposite" depending upon the seat, whether driver or passenger)

I think they are sport seats as they have the lumbar support etc on the seats themselves. Just want to switch them before the driver side bolster gets looking too bad.

The switches are on opposite sides. Lumbar to the interior. Wiring harness is routed different. It’s possible to switch them and make it correct, but why mess with two seats when you can just get one set of bolsters done?
