Installing leather seats - how to?

[edgar_raphael]

All I know is, the rear seats fits perfectly when you swap from a non-leather cloth trim to the leather options.

However, the front seats are a bit different. I am not sure if they will actually fit directly, but the leather seats are electrical powered, while the cloth ones are manual.

So has anyonehere swapped them before? Does the front seats swap directly and how do you connect the wires?

hi ed...r u doing it urself?
most of us here send to shops to get them leathered.

anyway, we dont have electrical seat in Malaysia for a32 so cant really give comment. but try to disconnet ur battery, then search for plugs under d seats...should be able to unplug n take out ur seat n then fit the leather covers.

Hi Ong

I was referring to swapping the non-leather seats of the A32 30G to the leather seats from A32 30GV.

The cloth-trim seats from 30G is a mechanical manual adjusted, while as the leather seats option from A32 30GV are electric version.

So I am wondering if it is a direct swap for the mounting bracket, and how can I connect the electricals to the A32 30G which I don't think will have the plug in the first place.

sorry...my bad....
well, if its from a32...then all the mounting bracket will b the same....u just need to connect the wires to any life wire behind ur dashboard. everything is under the seat...just need current to power it up...cheers

by the way, does anyone know if there is ever any A32 models with the front clear headlights? Or do they only started to appear in the later A33? Any clear headlights (or commonly called 'crystal' headlights) that can fit an A32?
