Title: Do Mk7 7 GTi seats fit Mk6?
Post by: matmk5 on October 08, 2017, 08:35:57 pm: After a relentless Google search marathon I cant seem to find a definitive answer... I want to swap out my Mk6 heated leather seats for Mk7 heated cloth seats. Are the heating and airbag connectors the same and are the rails compatible.

Anyone actualy done it?

Thanks in advance! :happy2:

The main reason for the swap was for the comfort factor being high sided sports seats & i was offered them for a silly cheap price £270.
