Swapping Seats

[Ryoka]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can help me with this one!

I have a Ford Focus LX 2006 Estate and a Ford Focus 2008 (58) Titanium. The 58 plate I am selling on (not yet listed) as I needed an estate. However, the seats in the estate are somewhat uncomfortable in comparison to the Titanium. Has anyone had experience in swapping the seats over? Is it doable?

thanks!

Hi

the seats should fit just need to unplug the the electrical connectors at the front with no ignition at all. The rear back rest is held in place by two claw like clips that need to be open up by using a screw driver. The claw like clips can be found at each end of the seats where the attach to the car.

Thanks for the reply, and excuse my ignorance! What are the electrical connectors for as my seats are manual? 

Thanks

Seatbelt tensioners.
Seatbelt detection.
Seat airbags.
Seat occupation sensor (passenger side only).

I think you also need to tell the insurance company too,  from my understanding this would be classed as a mod.

Hi,

Yes the insurer would need to be notified of any interior changes.
