There isn't. You need to remove the height adjustment to fit the factory swivel.

Hi all, I currently have a OEM swivel on the drivers seat, that I can't use since I have fitted a kitchen unit. I am looking to swap it out for a height adjuster and was wondering if anyone knows of one for sale or would like to do a swap??

Know if there is a way to keep the height adjustment while also having OE VW swivel base? Current config is height adjustable on Kiravans RIB swivel plates using shims to clear leisure battery and am looking for a way to get them back to original height without moving the battery

Hi, Im after a pair of OEM swivel bases for my captain seats! So I was wondering if anyone is looking for or would be willing to swap (with cash your way) for 2x height adjustable bases? And we can swap out the bases and keep our own seats etc. Seats in my van are brand new and only covered...

Is this not the same for all non-OEM swivel bases, or are there options that don’t require trimming? Personally, I’ve never trimmed mine, as I keep the seat height raised using the built-in height adjuster. This provides enough clearance for normal swivel operation and is also the most...

As long as the seats are factory front swivels replacing a height adjustable front seat all will swap over. That's what I did. Upload some pics if unsure

Appreciate you may not know the answer to this... Does the factory swivel that's not height adjustable, sit at the same height as a height adjustable seat that's fully raised, or fully lowered? (I'm 6'3" and have the height adjustable seat all the way down to fit nicely!) Cheers, Rich

Hi all! My first post on the forum, so hopefully one that hasn’t been covered some million and one times! We’ve just purchased a T6.1 to hire out after hiring out others many a time, we thought we’d give it a go ourselves! Anyway, being naive, I assume that no car seat would ever come...

Howdy, long time lurker, joined in Nov22 with my new to me T6 Kombi. Driver seat has the OEM swivel base, never going to used and I just don't like lack of height adjustment. I found a few new/used OEM height adjustable bases online - 7E0 881 618 B (image below) - is it feasible to change the...

Ahh amazing thanks! Was that with the height adjustable seat raised up to it's max, or dropped down to it's lowest? Cheers

Looks like it’s height adjustable so it’s not a factory swivel. Is it heated? I think you will need to add a price, these are a lot more in demand than the bench seat you are replacing it with (most people go the other way) so the price should be a lot higher GLWTS

Just had a look and measured the drivers and passengers seat. Factory swivel passenger and height adjustable drivers. Centre of the seat base to the ceiling were both 100cm exactly, front seam on the base to the floor both 40cm

Bah, wish I had known you were swapping, I'm thinking of going the other way, swapping from OEM swivel to height adjustable.

The RIB V2 swivels come with two spacer blocks that raise the drivers seat a bit, so you don't need to adjust the hand break in any way.. however, when the seat is fully down the seat will contact the swivel bracket. from experience, its best to raise the seat fully, then rotate, then lower if...

Just fitted a pair of Rusty Lee swivels. I'd read a number of posts on here about various makes of swivel being wobbly/creaking, including the Rusty Lee. I thought it worth posting that mine seem absolutely fine. The hardest part of the install was accessing the front seat bolts. You have to...

Dragging up an old thread as I’m about ready to ditch my 6.1 over the no height adjustable seat. Bought a height adjustable base and going to remove base and back from swivel and install onto height adjustable. How’s you get the lumbar adjuster cover off, prise it out ? Are the plastic covers...

Aftermarket ones will always raise the height as they go between the seat and the base. You will also lose the ability to height adjust as the side seats trims will block the swivel when down. You can buy aftermarket shortened bases to address some of these issues but you can't always use...

You have 2 options. You can either sell you captains seats and buy ones with the factory swivel. I did this in my last van. It cost in total about the same as buying aftermarket swivels for my seats. Or you could buy just the swivel mechanism from VW. Then swap these for the seat height...

Thanks

Oh you’re joking? Typical that. I put a post on here asking if anyone was interested in swapping/PX before I bought my swivel too!
