Front Seat

Post by DorothyMendoza00 »

Are the front seat cushions as in butt padding and or leather cover interchangeable. The passenger seat looks brand new while the driver's seat leather is in great condition the cushion seems to be flatter. Like to swap side to side and I have the hog rings and tool if it uses those.

I took the low-tech approach. A Samsonite memory foam bottom seat cushion that I bought at Burlington for $17. It makes a big difference in comfort on a 4 hour drive.

I researched this last month and the seat cushions in our 00 S70 SE N/A are interchangeable. The back portions are not. I hope to do this swap as soon as the car is freed up.

If the model shown in your profile is accurate you may get more traction going to that part of the forum, our P80s use earlier tech for seats and airbags.
I'm surprised Dr. Abscate didn't ask to see a picture of your dog.
