Re:My 01 Jimny, another Norwegian

Excellent choice

some fitting tips from when I did mine...

Swap the front seats around (driver/pass) to get the worn one on the passenger side (doesn't apply if a left hand drive car and fitting seats from a right hand drive car)

Use the jimny runners, plastics and seat belt receiver. The ignis seat base bit screws straight onto the jimny frame.

take the backrest bar out of the old and new seats, make the old seat one the same length as the new seat one (threaded rod and cut then drill/tap to extend it, nuts on to hold it there. M8 i think). use the newly extended bar to put into the new seat.

Make the holes on the runners that bolt to the floor oval as the seat will be slightly wider now.

Sit back and enjoy!

Im told the rear seats have to swap just the covers onto the jimny foam & frames. not sure what that does to the shape of them though! headrests are a straight swap. I've got ignis rears but as i have no back seats, i haven't tried to fit them. The fronts are great however. really comfy

Thanks, great tip! I cant really see that the rear back rest has any more support than the originals but if i can use them i will

Couldnt wait to put in the seats today, aprox 2 hours to fit them. in these photos you see all the screws holding the pillows.
here is the part that needs to be longer, as shown in the photo besides the Ignis one. put in a threaded bar and welded, doesnt need to be pretty. It could probably be a little bit shorter than this so the rear of the seat doesnt stretch out so much(needed some muscle to fit the bolts in the chassis).
moved my amplifier over also dont think i can use the rear ignis seats, have to open them up and take a look. Looks too wide. But the front seats are gorgeous, and sooo much better to drive now!

looks very nice, maybe get the jimny rears covered with the material from the rear ignis seats.

I threw them away, was not anything alike so!
