so can anyone tell me if the TL/TW seat rails and the holes to mount them to the floor are the same as the ones in my TF? to simplify can i do a straight swap with no modification? cheers luke

The seats in the TL/W have airbags and the drivers is powered. But the seat rails are the same I believe. You might be better of either getting T/KJ seats as they have no airbags or get your originals rebolstered.

thanx grelise, if i get tl/tw seats can i legally take the airbags out or not arm them as my car never had them from factory? cheers luke

You can leave the airbags in there. if your car never had them factory fitted then no need to worry.
its only dangerous if they came fitted to the vehicle and you took them out (and highly illegal)

cheers tuff that was the answer i was lookin for.. bring on the new leather seats. :bouncin:

pretty sure the front seats wont bolt up tho, due to them being alittle wider
i think hulster was trying to put KL seats into his ralliart and found the holes dont lie up

oh s**t. :angry: can anyone confirm or deny for sure if the TL/TW seats will fit in a TF please.

:repost::stoopid:

Definitely not a straight fit in anything pre TL.

Cheers

oh well too late i allready paid for them ill just have to make it work. thanx for the help guys. will keep you posted on my progress.......soon to have brand new leather TL/TW seats with a little force ( angle grinder, drill hammer ) cheers luke

Maybe you can swap your current seat rails onto these new seats?

yeah ill have to take a close look at that when i get them. i think hulkstar tried it with no luck but ill keep my fingers crossed anyways. cheers luke

just from casually "eyeballing" my TJ and girlfriends TL, seems the TL seats sit a bit further in-board, probably to make room for side airbag inflation, so one would assume that the bottom frame\rails are maybe narrower than the earlier ones?

thanx cosmo, hopefully i will be able to make it work some how. cheers luke

Let us know if you need some measurements, can take some from both cars when she gets back from work with the TL.

Just saw this thread.

Everything except the drivers seat will fit.

You can't swap the seat onto TJ rails either as the bases are totally different.

I guess you can modify the rails but that's dangerous, illegal and possibly fatal in the event of an accident.

Also, if you modify the rails, you have the possibility of the side airbag exploding in your face.

I still don't have the drivers seat in and don't know that i ever will.

Good luck with it though.
