Title: Are there any complications in swopping drivers' seats between Astras?
Post by: terry paget on 25 April 2019, 22:40:23

The driver's seat in my 2006 Astra 1.6 H Design is torn. The similar seat in my donor 2004 Astra 1.6 H Design is fine. I appreciate the seats contain air bags and maybe seat belt sensors As long as I remove the battery earth lead and wait 5 minutes before doing so, can I swop them?

If the plugs match then it should be OK...

3 door/5 door front seats aren't interchangeable. Rears probably are hatch to hatch/estate to estate.

 There should be a small tag on the pre tensioner. Make sure that is inserted before removal.
If not, a slight jolt can cause the pre tensioner to go off making it then usless
