Will MKII seats fit in an MKI?



Julie's right...

The Mk.1 seats have shorter center rail.

The reason is that the Mk.1 uses a thin nylon front slider bushing, and
the Mk.2 uses a thicker rubber bushing.

You can either weld a thin strip along the bottom of the Mk.2/Rabbit/A2
seat, retrofit the Mk.2 front bushing to fit the Mk.1, or swap the Mk.2
seat bottom frame with a Mk.1 S seat frame, and re-install the seat back
to it.

I did the latter on my '79 Scirocco, and it's what I plan on doing on
the leather seats, that are going into my '81 S.

I have them in mine. MUCH better  :)
The rears have a different mount system at the top of the seat, the
bottoms
ok though.
The fronts mount but have about 1/8" of play on the front mount.
