986 996 seat differences?

[clarkey979]

Hi tempted to switch seats in my 996 for 986 versions that have heating. I understand the challenges of getting heating wired in, just checking if there are any differences in seat design between 996 and 986, any differences in bases etc? Thanks

The 986 ones don't go back as far (no room due to the engine/bulkhead) so you may have to switch the runners over, or use some other method (there may be stops of some kind that can be moved/adjusted) to alter the movement range to what it should be.

I'm doing a 996 heating retrofit at the moment, it worked out cheaper for me to buy every for the seats new, but you could very easily strip heated seats down and fit the inards in to your existing pair.

Message me if you want any help along the way.

Aren't they exactly the same seats? Mine do fold for the rear entry which doesn't exist as it's a Boxster
