OEM seats, are they the same?
 

anyone happen to know if they OEM seats are driver/passenger side specific? i have an '02 and i want to swap the driver and passenger. i know the seat belt buckle would have to be swapped to the opposite side.

reason for doing it is because the driver's seat is worn/broken and passenger is not. i wanted to swap the passenger seat into the drivers position and vice versa. wanted to know if anyone has done this or has knowledge of the seat construction as i haven't looked at them in detail yet. thanks.

My driver's seat has a lumbar support button, obviously the passenger side doesn't. I would imagine other thing things like that you'd only need to swap the bottom brackets.

right, mine does as well. my driver's seat is full power with the lumbar support. from what i've heard, all of that stuff is built into the power seat bracket and can be transferred to a non-power seat. i guess i'll give it a shot this weekend, hopefully start it tonight. only thing that concerns me is the buckles for the seatbelts. just need to make sure i can mount those on the opposite sides of the seat.

All of the adjustments would be on the wrong side too if you were able to swap them. The tilt levers would be facing the center console instead of the door..

hrm.. shit. didn't think about that. i was looking at car-part.com a few weeks back and they have listings in the correct color for used OEM seats for pretty cheap (under 50$).

that may be a better solution to just replace the driver's seat.
