Recline passenger seat

Post by Gianfry »

Dears,
this is the first car I see this kind of issue, but after some research I found it' quite common on VW cars.
I'm able to completely recline the driver seat through the side wheel but the passenger seat doesn't recline at all, just few degrees.
Do you know if is is possible to hack the seat in order to let it go down completely?
Thanks a lot.

Might be easier to swap the seats

You're right, but it's even difficult to find seats that look like mine. :?

Do you think this will fit my MK4 Caddy (2017)?

Thanks.

I found this one from a Golf 7: https://www.ebay.it/itm/124302551787?ha ... SwSu5fOoVL

It should fit straightly on my Caddy IV, right?

Thanks.

The passenger seat in our mk4 rhd maxi doesn’t recline fully down either? Only realised when we were trying to fit a piece of worktop in.
