Scirocco 2 center rails are taller than the Scirocco 1
- otherwise, the tracks are identical. This means you
can put a Scirocco 2 (or A2) seat in a Scirocco 1, but
you cannot put a Scirocco 1 seat in a Scirocco 2.

I have no freakin' idea why VW did this, but it pissed
me off when I tried to put my old Scirocco S seats in
my '82 . . .
