How To Remove And Replace Front Seats?

[avedis]

I have 1 dead 1996 Xantia 19.td and 1 working 1995 Xantia 1.9td . The latter is in general in better condition.

The seats in the 1995 are pretty wrecked however and I would like to replace them with those from the 1996.

Is this a straight swap, and how easy/hard is it to do at home?

Instructions would be a bonus, I have no manual.

According to the Haynes BOL (not verbatim, but you get the general idea :rolleyes:

 

1 If your car has seatbelt pre-tensioners; disconnect battery and disconnect orange coloured wiring plug from under the seat.

2 Carefully pull the plastic trim panel from the outer edge of the seat. Pull the panel upwards then towards the door to release it.

3 Unscrew the bolt securing the lower seat belt anchor to the seat frame.

4 Move the seat fully forwards to expose the rear mounting bolts, then unscrew the bolts.

5 Move seat fully back to access the front mounting bolts.

6 Remove seat.

7 Recover the plastic plates from the floor noting their locations.

 

Sounds easy, and it is, I've had my seat out to weld the frame, it was broken when I bought the car...

Many thanks.

I shall give this a go now.
