    Seat bottoms

    OK: gray fabric non-sport seats (about as pedestrian as it gets).

    I've got no rips, tears or wear spots, but the 'outboard' bolster on the DS seat bottom is collapsed/flattened. (I think the PO was a big fella)

    Anyway - is it a somewhat easy job to swap the seat bottoms - DS to PS and PS to DS, which would put the collapsed bolster on the 'inboard' side of the PS seat bottom? They look to be the same - are they? I was gonna take the seats out to clean up the carpet anyway....

    I've got some time to work on this but really no $, so I thought I'd swap 'em if it was possible. I just don't want to take them all apart to find out that they are 'sided'.

    Thanks

    Derek

        sorry i didn't see this sooner..

        same thing happened with my diver-side bolster when i purchased it.

        basically, a weld has broken on the seat frame

        ultimate seat repair link

        i tore the seat down.



        a local body shop re-welded the bolster.
        $5
        reassemble.
        done deal
