No, no, no!!!!!!
You guys got it all wrong.....sheeesh!
I am 6'1", there is now way in hell I would fit in my Scirocco with the 
Jetta GLI brackets underneath those seats.

Unlike the other VW seats, the GLI seats are "true" Recaro's and are bolted 
to frames that slide into the seat rails in the Jetta.

I simply unbolted the seats from the GLI brackets (sold the OEM power 
brackets on e-bay for $160) and purchased the aftermarket Recaro brackets 
for the Mk1 Scirocco, bolted the seats to them and installed them in the 
Scirocco.

They actually sit lower then the stock Scirocco S seats and are MUCH more 
comfortable and supportive.

HTH the cause.. :)
