thanks for all your help folks....this is a much easier thread to do the swap for....i haven't tried figuring out what i want to do, but if i can't use the plastics that comes with the 7gc and my 6gc plastics are busted...i think i might just go the welding route...i remember reading only three of the holes on the 7gc bracket work...but ill see what i have to do to make the fourth fit after the seats are cleaned.

I think I have some spare charcoal colored 6th gen seat plastics...I'll have to check. If so, you can have them. Compare your 7th gen plastics to the pic I posted on the first page of the 6th gen plastics. It's been so long ago that I can't remember anymore, but I THINK I did use the 7th gen plastics when I swapped the seats into the car. I know I have a set of 7th gen plastics in my basement, and should have a spare set of 6th gen platics, I'll have to compare them to see where the mounting points are since I don't have my 7th gen seats anymore. One slight difference with the 7th gen seat bottom is that the height adjustor is in a slightly different spot, about an inch away from the 6th gen location IIRC. Not a big deal but if your 7th gen seat cushion is well used, the dye may be slightly worn in a ring around where the old knob location was and where the new one is. Very unnoticeable unless you're looking for it, but it is there. @zoik. Disconnect the battery from the 7th gen, wait for a few minutes, and then remove the airbags in the seat. |
