which front seats are suitable for VAZ 2107

The VAZ 2107 was produced at OJSC Volzhsky Automobile Plant (AvtoVAZ) since March 1982. The last VAZ 2107 sedan rolled off the assembly line on April 17, 2012, and in Egypt the VAZ 2107 was assembled before the beginning of 2014. This is an improved version of the Fiat 124, in which only the appearance has been completely changed.

During its existence, such a car was modified many times, but at the same time it remained a representative of the III group of the small class with rear-wheel drive and a sedan body type. Since 2006, a new engine was installed - 1.6 liters, the fuel injection system was changed, and the interior was changed. The front of the car began to look different by updating the shape of the headlights, changing the appearance of the bumper and radiator grille. We also modernized the heating and ventilation systems of the cabin. For export, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with a 1.7 liter engine with an electronic fuel injection system.

When the VAZ 2107 became very popular and was in great demand, the manufacturing plants decided to produce not only spare parts, but also produce parts themselves that could be used by car owners as tuning.

Installation of front seats from a foreign car

The new seats didn't have to sit idle for long.
Literally the next day after the purchase, I went to a friend to install these seats. Since the scope of work was not initially planned correctly, I took a reserve of 2 days. In the end, it turned out that we were fiddling with the seats both days, even longer than I had planned. A long-known problem with classics is the crookedness of standard seat mounts. It is expressed in the difference between the height of the right fastener and the left. Plus, these fasteners are designed for standard seats; any other seats, in theory, should be very high relative to standard ones. I was not very happy with this arrangement. Together with a friend, we decided to cut out the old fasteners and fit the new seats in place. Everything that would be in the way was removed, including the old seats. In principle, when destroying old fasteners, the presence of an angle grinder is not at all necessary. The metal there is thin, so it can be cut well with a chisel. The fasteners were cut off. Then there was a very long and tedious brainstorming session on the topic “how to do everything right.” We decided to weld two 12mm bolts as rear fasteners. After much work by my friend, the first fastener was made. We didn’t have time to do anything that day, so we decided to postpone the matter until another day. On the morning of the second day, after a long night of thinking about how to do it right, we continued our work. The fact is that the rear seat fasteners, in principle, only bear the pressure load, that is, there should be enough bolts. But the front fasteners will also experience lifting (due to the rocking effect of the seats) and tearing load, which is not good for the thin metal of the bottom. It was decided to strengthen this metal with 2mm thick galvanized iron plates. After going to the store, purchasing the necessary items and several hours of work, the first fastener was completely finished.

The front fastener is made with a through bolt through the bottom and a 2mm plate. The bolts have reinforced washers, so I think the safety margin is enough for these seats. The idea of such fasteners is that it is possible to adjust the height of the seats, although the adjustment range is about 8mm. In principle, this is enough to correctly position the seats. Next, the second fastener was made according to the same scheme. After a few hours, all the work was completed, we decided to paint over the affected areas with paint so that they would not become covered with rust.

Everything turned out very cool, smooth and tough. The mount holds everything perfectly and everything is adjustable perfectly. Result:

What's the point? They are not very comfortable, it seems to me that they are worse than their relatives.

Well, first of all, my car was in a serious accident, the car was missing the right side and was not in the right place. Looking for a place from 2121? They are not intact. Secondly, others are more difficult to install. I’m not afraid of difficulties, but, and this is the third time, these seats didn’t cost me anything... Well, the 2107 seats are MUCH more comfortable than the 2121. Well, of course, everyone has their own tastes.

Come on, I’m not talking about the family, fuck all this AvtoVAZ, I found two Honda H-RV seats on Avito, a little shabby, but not visible under the covers, I paid 1.5 rubles for them, I actually used welding, but That’s why I have it and the bolts are the same, so my wife installed seats on a BMW 2112, a 50x50 40cm profile for spacers and bolts of the required length, a grinding machine, a drill, a drill, it took 3 hours (two places), 2112 earlier, through An hour ago my back began to hurt (and ideally the seats on it), I decided to work hard on it higher, drove 400 km a day, and at least henna.

And judging by the fact that you decided to take on the restoration of such a car, I realized that you are not very afraid of difficulties, good luck in your endeavors, respect!

I have something to drive 400 km, except NIVA. Over the past 3 years, this NIVA has not driven more than 50 km per day. Its main task is to remove snow in winter. Although... Agree, this is beauty. I also feel sorry for her under the snow blower.

And judging by the fact that you decided to take on the restoration of such a car, I realized that you are not very afraid of difficulties, good luck in your endeavors, respect!

Yes, and of course I can take any position at NIVU. I have these.

I, too, initially took the Niva for construction and hauled crap, but in everyday life I want to switch from Toyota to it, so I’m preparing it.

My NIVE has no corrosion on the bottom, no intact brackets, and I have no desire to tear them. Well, if the inspection is ever put in order, then the use of seats of other brands will be grounds for cancellation. Although now both mine and your NIVA will rot.

Well, I won’t say anything about the inspection, Russia is our great power, but for the brackets, so I didn’t cut them, I already bought them, the driver’s license was from 2108, with 4 bolts and a bunch of nuts, that’s why I did it, at this moment I’ll catch myself completely disassembling, treating the floors and gluing the Shumka, at the same time I will raise the driver's seat a little and weld in the crossbar that should be there, there is a passenger there, but there were not even family reunions or anything like that.

What's the point? They are not very comfortable, it seems to me that they are worse than their relatives.

Seven seats are much more comfortable than nine

Standard seats VAZ 2107

If we compare the equipment and appearance of the VAZ 2107 with previous models, it looks much better. By creating this car, the Soviet auto industry tried to make a “luxury” model. This was noticeable in the exterior, as well as in the interior equipment. We will not dwell on all the differences, but will consider only the standard seats.

The difference between the “Seven” and previous VAZ models is that it has front seats with lateral support. The backrests have headrests made in a single body, whereas in previous versions the headrests were inserted into the backrest separately. The peculiarity of the rear sofa is that it has a folding armrest, which improves passenger comfort.

As in any other car, the seats of the VAZ 2107 have a complex design. They are designed to ensure maximum comfort and safety for all occupants.

The seat consists of the following main elements:

The frame of the front seats can be moved back and forth along special guides. To do this, press the lever and then move the seat to the desired position.

The backrest and cushion of the front seats are hinged. It is possible to set a comfortable backrest angle. The height of the backrest is designed to provide reliable support for the shoulders of a person of average height. The presence of a headrest is responsible for supporting the head. The front seat cushions and backrests have side bolsters that provide a snug fit for the passenger and driver and also hold them in place during cornering. The cushion and backrest of the rear seats are rigidly fixed and there is no way to change their angle.

Springs are attached to the frame. The structure of the pillows and backs is layered. They consist of the following elements:

Ready-made anatomical seats for VAZ 2114

The easiest way out of the situation is to install ready-made converted chairs. Please take a look at the manufacturers listed below.

Video: Sports seats on a VAZ 2114 for 16,000 rubles

The Viller company is also popular, as the manufacturer claims, the models are made in accordance with GOST, relieve stress from the spine, and provide enhanced lateral support.

Also on the websites of online stores there are non-branded anatomical models for VAZ cars. Based on this, we can conclude that even despite prices starting from 15,000 rubles, they are still popular. There are chairs on the used market that are about half the price of new ones.

In any case, this type of seat is the simplest solution when it comes to upgrading the car interior. This solution will significantly save time and will not be inferior to the quality of seats from modern foreign cars, except that the number of adjustments will be fewer and there will be no heating.

If you are faced with the question of choosing and installing seats in a VAZ 2114, the most comfortable option would be to install anatomical models. If funds are limited and you don’t want to deal with a lot of alterations, it’s better to stick to seats from other, more modern AvtoVAZ models. In cases where you want to get maximum adjustments and other functions of a modern interior, it is better to install designs from foreign cars. Usually this method is less expensive, since seats of many brands are not always popular among their owners, but you will have to spend time installing new seats in the car.

The graphs show the dimensions of the VAZ 2107 car - width, length and height. Data is shown for all available modifications, including, for some, the overall width with mirrors.

The smallest cars are marked in green, and the largest in red.

Below is a summary table of overall dimensions for all modifications of the VAZ 2107.

So, there is a standard driver’s seat on the VAZ 2107, it was designed by a hunchbacked disabled person who hated all people and blamed everyone around him for his hunchback and crooked spine, last degree scoliosis. Why? Because he is disabled, and everyone else is normal and they have sex.

So, this hunchbacked disabled man sits and designs a seat for the new VAZ 2107 car. In the late 70s. And he thinks how to make hell for all users of the new machine, so that nothing seems like honey to them?

He made the seats and died. Or hanged himself, I don’t know.

So, we have a standard VAZ 2107 seat, which is held on by flimsy fasteners, is not normally adjustable, your spine is in the wrong position, and the headrest is at neck level. I don’t know who he designed for, but no one was going to redo anything, even if we remember that he designed for his height, one meter with a cap.

They told me that it’s hard to sit on my tattered cat behind me because my legs are pushed in, there’s no room and in general my car is shit, which is a shame. So, when I sit down with my 185 cm height, there is less space behind Bomzhatan than in the Tattered Cat.

In short, the result: the seat fastenings are torn out both front and rear, and diagonally. The seat does not move back or forth without a sledgehammer, the springs have burst, the seats dangle like my panties on a rope on the street in a wind speed of 22 m/s, the headrest is clearly made for a disabled person, because for me it is small and short, the seat is already lopsided, i.e. e. the design engineer specially made terrible seats, which as soon as the car was put into production in 1982, but in a planned economy you have to work on the warehouse - they made over a shitload of more than 7 million pieces at once. Or 10 million pieces of seats, in short, that was enough for 30 years to come. It’s not for nothing that some parts on Bomzhatan are marked “Made in the USSR”!

What seats can be installed?

If we talk about the standard seats of the VAZ 2107, they cannot boast of originality and the fact that they provide an ideal fit. This can be explained simply: the VAZ is a budget car and the manufacturer’s installation of special expensive seats on it would cause a significant increase in the price of the car.

In addition, we must take into account that people have different weights and configurations. A seat that may be comfortable for one person may not be suitable for another. That is why, in order to improve the appearance of the car, as well as to choose the most comfortable seat for the driver, many car enthusiasts install seats from other cars on the VAZ 2107.

Racing

This is the most expensive option and is very rarely chosen for VAZ. Such seats are used by racing drivers, and their price can be comparable to the cost of a “seven”.

When creating such models, fiberglass is used. Their main feature is that the back and pillow have a one-piece design. To perfectly fit the seat to the driver's figure, special inserts are used.

Although the seat is highly durable and reliable and perfectly follows the driver’s figure, getting in and out becomes more difficult. The fact that the backrest and cushion are made of fiberglass makes driving on our roads unbearable. These seats can only be used if the car is racing.

Sports

If we compare racing and sports seats, the latter have backrest adjustment, as well as shoulder rests, hip and back support. They are quite comfortable, which allows the driver to drive the car comfortably. The sports seats are equipped with a four-point belt, which ensures high safety. It should be taken into account that sports seats are comfortable if there is a hard suspension; if it is soft, then such seats are not suitable for long trips.

Anatomical or ultra-comfortable

If you prefer a comfortable and slow ride, then you should choose anatomical seats. These seats provide a comfortable seating position and good torso support during sharp turns or sharp maneuvers.

They have different adjustments that allow you to customize the chair for a specific person, taking into account his anatomical features. There are models in which heating is installed, and they also have the possibility of vibration massage. This solution allows you to drive a car for a long time, and a person will not feel pain in the back, neck or lower back even during long journeys.

Seats from foreign cars

Often VAZ 2107 owners install seats from foreign cars in them. There are many options, but the most commonly used are the following, as they require little or no modification:

Volkswagen seats fit well, but their disadvantage is that the seating position is high and therefore this solution is suitable for people of short or average height. When installing seats from Peugeot and Nissan, you will have to work hard, since their fastenings are slightly mismatched. To more securely fix a chair from a foreign car in the body of a VAZ 2107, it may be necessary to create additional holes.

Experts say that almost any seats can be installed on the VAZ 2107, the main thing is that they fit in size and it is possible to carry out welding work.

Steering wheel improvement

The steering wheel is the main control element of the car, so it must be comfortable to operate and suitable in size. In the VAZ 2107, the main disadvantage of the steering wheel is its large size, which slows down the steering speed and impairs maneuverability.

What seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114 without modifications and from foreign cars?

The standard steering wheel of the VAZ 2107 makes it difficult to control the car due to its large size

I got behind the wheel of my brother’s “Seven” several times when I was studying at a driving school, and there was a catastrophic lack of lessons with an instructor. In my opinion, the steering wheel is really uncomfortable. It is large, but the rim is quite thin, and it is uncomfortable to hold. And it is not located very well - in the turning position it noticeably covers the dashboard and, unfortunately, is not adjustable. Our steering wheel also had a feature - either constructive, or the wheel alignment was poorly adjusted - the car drives straight not with the steering wheel in a straight position, but with the steering wheel turned slightly to the right.

The easiest type of tuning that will help cope with external defects of the steering wheel, for example, abrasions, is to install a braid on its rim. It also makes control more convenient, since your hands will no longer slide on the steering wheel.

With braiding, the steering wheel does not slip and looks more presentable

To replace the steering wheel, the old steering wheel must be removed. Car stores sell sports steering wheels for the VAZ 2107. You can also install a steering wheel from a foreign car on the “Seven”, but not from just any car; it must fit the mounts. Alternatively, you can go to an auto-disassembly shop with your steering wheel and choose the right one there.

A more technically complex tuning option is to install hydraulic or electric power steering.

Front seat malfunctions and repairs

With proper use, the front seats of the VAZ 2107 serve for a long time and reliably. As with any other element of the car, damage to the front seats may occur during long-term use, but in most cases you can repair them yourself.

Removing the front seat

To carry out repair work, you must first remove the front seat. For dismantling and repairs you will need the following tools:

The procedure for dismantling the front seat of a VAZ 2107:

The back does not lock and does not recline

The impossibility of fixing or reclining the backrest occurs due to the failure of its position lock. Repair consists of replacing the retainer or its comb. It is not difficult to find such parts in the store. Repair sequence:

Doesn't move horizontally

If the seat does not move back and forth, then the reason is a broken slide. They consist of the following elements:

In a horizontal position, the seat will not move if the slide is clogged with dirt or one of the elements is broken. Repair of the skids will be carried out in the following sequence:

It is necessary to clean all parts from dirt and old grease. After this, they determine whether there are any failed elements and, if necessary, replace them with new ones.

Front seat reupholstery

The front seats are usually used more often, so they get dirty faster, especially if they don't have covers. There are situations when the seat upholstery is damaged. In such cases, the chair must be re-upholstered:

Rear seats

Removing the rear seat back is very easy. It is attached to the car body using special hooks. It is enough to raise the back slightly up. After this, the clamps will disengage and it can be removed.

To dismantle the lower part, you need to take the seat from one side and sharply pull it up. This releases the spring clips. After this, do the same on the other side and remove the saddle.

To a large extent, the comfort and convenience of the driver and passengers depend on the seats. That is why special attention must be paid to the choice of this interior element. You can always replace the standard seats of the VAZ 2107 with more comfortable and high-quality ones. Thus, not only the comfort and safety of people in the car improves, but also its appearance becomes more attractive.

Standard seats VAZ 2107, repair, replacement

Experienced car enthusiasts remember our Soviet automobile industry. Domestic cars did not differ in comfort compared to foreign cars, including the VAZ 2107. Although this Zhiguli model was considered the best.

Constructors and designers of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant have developed a more equipped and more attractive almost luxury car.

The radiator grille, headlights and taillights, and bumpers gave a certain chic to the new Lada. Inside the cabin, the seats were striking. Very comfortable, beautiful.

The headrests are made in a single body with the backrest. The rear seats had a folding armrest in the middle.

But there are significant drawbacks: the soft part of the seat upholstery wears out quickly and the seat adjustment mechanisms often fail.

Car owners, during operation, repair seats or replace them with comfortable foreign-made seats.

In this article, we will look at options on how to repair old seats and from which foreign-made cars you can install used seating products.

Standard seats VAZ 2107

The “seven” has more improved seats compared to its previous brothers. The main elements are:

The metal frame of the back and the lower part of the front seats are connected to each other by hinges. This makes it possible to set the optimal angle between the seat and backrest for a comfortable position for the driver and passenger. The wings on the sides keep the driver from moving to the side during maneuvers.

The back height is designed for a person of average build. The headrest is built into the backrest, and they form a single unit.

The bottom of the frame moves on a slide with a locking mechanism. The slides are attached to the body shell. The seats can be moved back and forth, establishing the optimal distance between the driver and the steering wheel, the passenger and the dashboard.

The rear sofa has undergone virtually no changes. To improve comfort, a folding armrest was made in the middle.

What seats can be installed?

And yet, no matter how you judge it, the seats of the VAZ 2107 are far from world standards. Many car enthusiasts, after a certain period of using their car, try to choose seats from foreign cars that suit them. Fortunately, there are many options available nowadays.

In order to choose seats for your “seven”, there are many factors that need to be taken into account. One of the main factors is price. It may happen that new imported seats will be comparable in cost to the car on which they want to install them. It’s better to refuse this and choose a used one for analysis. There you can always find high-quality seats in good condition and much cheaper.

The seats of the first foreign car you come across may not be suitable, for this you need to meet some conditions:

Racing

These seats are used by racing drivers and are made of durable plastic as a one-piece structure. They are adjusted individually to the pilot's build using a set of special inserts.

Very expensive, rare car enthusiasts buy for domestic classics. It is inconvenient to get in and out of such chairs. When driving long distances, the plastic seats provide little pleasure. If the car is not racing, it is better not to install these seats.

Sports

Unlike racing seats, sports seats have an adjustable angle between the backrest and the cushion. There are shoulder supports and devices to support the hips and back. Very comfortable and convenient seats with a four-point seat belt.

There is a peculiarity, it is better to use if the car has a hard suspension, but with a soft suspension when driving long distances, it is not comfortable.

Anatomical or ultra-comfortable

When driving for a long time in regular standard seats, the physical condition of the driver worsens, especially if he is older. Pain appears in the back, joints, and muscles. This results in fatigue, fatigue and loss of concentration, which affects driving safety. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to replace simple seats with anatomical ones.

There is no discomfort in such seats and driving a car is a pleasure.

Seats from foreign cars

A more budget-friendly option is to replace seats from used foreign cars. In the analysis you can find quite decent seats that will fit the domestic Lada. When installed, the comfort and design of the interior will significantly increase.

Not all foreign cars fit seats on the VAZ 2107, but there are brands that should be preferred:

The dimensions of the front and rear seats, as well as mountings, are ideal for these cars; no modifications are required. They only improve the appearance, comfort and design of our domestic classics.

Seats from brands such as Fiat and Skoda are suitable in size for a VAZ 2107, but it is necessary to make several holes in the lower part of the frame and install additional fasteners.

In principle, if you have the desire and engineering thought, as well as a grinder, a drill and a welding machine, the range of foreign models can be expanded.

What other changes can be made

In order to make your standard “seven” original and different from the rest, you can not only change the seats. If you have enough imagination and skill, you can do a lot. So, for example, instead of a standard instrument panel, install a panel from a GAZ 3110, modernize the interior lighting system, modernize the heating system and modify the stove, install power windows, reupholster the interior, install lighting on the doors, tune the standard beard and much more.

VAZ 2107 is an incredibly popular car among the people. It is often called the “Russian Mercedes” or “I want to be a Mercedes” for its characteristic radiator grille and the general appearance of the front of the car. This involuntarily provokes car owners to tune their cars. When you decide to change anything in your car, remember that installing non-original seats may raise questions from regulatory authorities, since such manipulations are considered changes to the design of the car.

Installing a new seat

To install, you need to have new or repaired seats, standard or from a foreign model.

First of all, after removing the old seats, it is necessary to clean the dirt from the places on the bottom where they stood. If there is rust, clean it and coat it with an anti-corrosion compound.

Before installing non-standard seats, you should make sure that the fasteners match where they are based.

The above describes how to dismantle the chairs. Installation is carried out in the reverse order, but first the slides must be lubricated with a thick special lubricant.

Front seat malfunctions and repairs

If you treat your car correctly and with care, the seats will last a relatively long time. And yet these are loaded nodes that sooner or later fail. Front seats break more often than rear seats. Main failures: wear of the casing or failure of the adjustment mechanism to perform its functions.

All this can be repaired independently in makeshift conditions.

The back does not lock and does not recline

The backrest does not recline or is not fixed; it can move back and forth without any effort. This is one of the frequent breakdowns in the seat adjustment mechanism of the VAZ 2107. It occurs due to the weakness of the unit that fixes the movements of the backrest lever. Driving a vehicle while sitting in such a seat is inconvenient and unsafe.

Repairing it yourself is not difficult. Below is described and shown how to do it step by step:

Installing a reinforced seat clamp comb

The photograph clearly shows that the comb is made of weak metal and is not very durable; it will not last long. Craftsmen have introduced a new method of repairing the fastener. This is a reinforced comb installation. It is not sold in stores, so it is better to order it from a familiar turner. Can also be found at salvage sites for old cars.

Installation of this comb is much easier; there is no need to cut anything.

We straighten the old comb and boil it if there are cracks in the metal parts of the frame. We install the reinforced comb in place, align it with the adjusting pin and weld it. To avoid burning the soft parts of the seat, you need to cover them.

Video: Repairing the front seat comb

Repair of front seat slides

The slides are designed to move the chairs back and forth and lock them in the required position. The main reason for the failure of the slide is contamination of the guides, but there is also a breakdown of the metal components of the mechanism structure.

This mechanism consists of the following parts:

To make repairs or clean the slides, they must be detached from the seat frame. This is done in the following order:

After this, clean and rinse the mechanism from old grease and dirt. Carefully inspect, if there are broken or damaged elements of the mechanism, they need to be replaced with new ones. After these manipulations, assemble the slide and put it in place, having previously lubricated it with a special lubricant.

Reupholstery of the front seats of VAZ 2107

A car serves a person for a long time and during this time the upholstery of the seats becomes dirty, “greasy”, or even torn. The driver and front passenger seats are most often affected by this. It’s too late to put on the covers; this should have been done earlier. In this case it is better to tighten it. There are no difficulties, the procedure is below:

Rear seats

The rear seats of the Zhiguli are the same as a sofa. On the VAZ 2107, a retractable armrest is made in the back of the sofa to improve the comfort of rear passengers. The upper and lower parts of the sofa are attached separately to the car body using clamps.

Rear seat removal and repair

It is better to remove the rear seats together. One on one side of the car, the other on the other side. The order of execution is as follows:

All operations for installing the rear seats are performed in the reverse order.

The rear sofa is more durable than the front seats, but sometimes requires repairs. More often this is re-upholstery or changing springs. Car enthusiasts rarely try to repair sofas. It’s easier to exchange for a used one from a foreign car, which is much simpler and more comfortable to use.

This is a reminder for drivers of the VAZ 2107 (also relevant for other classics), I decided to create it because minor technical questions often arise, and it takes a lot of time to find the answer. And here everything is in one place.

So, VAZ 2107 technical characteristics, dimensions, parameters.

Seats for VAZ 2107 - which ones are suitable and what is better to choose

Every owner of a domestic car of classic models knows that the seats in them are not particularly comfortable and durable, so if you have the finances, there is a desire to replace them with seats from a foreign car. And here the question immediately arises about which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2107. After all, few people are interested in redoing the brackets on new seats in order to install them in the cabin. In addition, remodeling is not safe, so let’s delve into the essence of the question and get a detailed answer.

Additional interior tuning

In addition to installing new seats, other modifications to the interior can be made, which will significantly increase the level of comfort. For example, many drivers connect heated seats to their seats. You can do this in several ways:

Choose chairs with built-in heating function;
Do the heating yourself.

Both options are quite feasible, so you can choose the one that suits you best.

Another fairly common modification is interior reupholstery. It is worth noting that the standard trim on the VAZ 2107 is not very sophisticated. Therefore, many drivers are trying to correct this shortcoming. This work is quite difficult, but if you have the right patterns, there won’t be any special problems with it.

Which seats fit without modifications?

If there is a desire to change the seats in the cabin of the seven, then you need to install seats from a foreign car, which are characterized by increased comfort. In this case, a problem arises - the cost of seats from foreign cars is sometimes 2 times higher than the price of new seats for the seven. To reduce costs, you need to choose used models of chairs that will cost no more than new factory models.

Options

First, it’s worth considering which seat options can be used in the VAZ 2107. Here you need to take into account the mounting features, as well as the dimensions of the seats. After all, this item should not only match the fastenings, but also fit normally in the cabin. There are examples when the seat is too high or interferes with driving. Therefore, you need to make your choice very carefully.

Many drivers claim that seats from a 1996 Mercedes W210 are optimally installed in this model. Such seats can be seen in many “sevens”. Moreover, the owners claim that no modifications were required for installation. Everything fit into the fastenings, as if it had been specially designed.

You can install seats from a 1993 Toyota Corolla in a similar manner. This option also does not need to be modified. We just install it, fasten it in the standard way, and move on. All fasteners fit perfectly.

If desired, you can install almost any seats from Skoda and Fiat. They are completely the same in terms of the size of the sled, as well as the main fastenings. But, there is one caveat. These seats have a slightly shifted center of gravity. Therefore, for greater stability and reliability of the resulting structure, it is recommended to add a couple of additional holes for fastening on each side.

Without modifications, you can install seats from Volkswagen, but this option is practically not used in practice. The reason is that the seat height is too high, making it inconvenient for drivers to operate the car.

It is also possible to supply options from Peugeot and Nissan. But there are a number of difficulties here. Installation will require a lot of reworking of the fasteners, which will take quite a lot of time. There may also be problems with seat settings.
