If only seats were L/R agnostic

How much time and work would that save us? Tens of thousands of man hours, I'm sure.

For anyone who doesn't live/breathe Volvos, here's the explanation: driver's side seats wear out well before passenger sides... the leather.

If we could just swap driver's sides with junkyard passenger seats, life would be simple and easy. But it's not that easy to swap a L into the R driver's side.

Who was that moron who thought that could work?

And who was that lady who saved the day, that fateful June?

The leather can swap of course, which is four seat removals, two installs , and four leather Swaps. Whew!

I really wish they were. I swapped the seats in my old Landy Cruiser left to right and once you got used to the seat adjustment being on the wrong side it wasn't too bad.
