I have what appear to be standard low back seats in my 73 model. The drivers side has the adjustable rails and the passenger side has the 2 position lift up and slot in seat rather than rails. The seats are ok but are a bit old and dirty (the fronts are velour and the sides are vinyl so not sure if it's standard) and the springs are not the best.
What are my options to freshen them up a bit?
Are there any seats either from other models or later kombis that will fit straight in without modification? I'd prefer higher backs for comfort and safety. Either good enough to use or some crappy ones that can be refurbished.
2nd alternative is something from another car or some aftermarket seats but this will require mod plates to fit - has anyone fitted something in that works well and fits up relatively easilly and can tell me the make and model of donor vehicle/s?
3rd choice is reupholster the ones I have. Never having done this I have no idea on cost or how long it takes - any ideas? I want to retrim most of the inside anyway, the door panels are aluminium sheets so they have to go, the sliding door panel is missing, so I thought I'd redo the lot.
Tips, hints and ideas most welcome from those who have done such things to their Kombi.
