dakarman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Has anybody changed their front seats? From an ST / RS Focus etc. What is a straight swap? Or can you mount another seat onto the existing subframe Cheers for any helpful replies R9an 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power_Dr Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I would love to know the answer to this as well. The seat bottom is really short and the back of my knees don't rest on the seat and it is really uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b25crew Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The transit connect seats suck IMHO. Chirola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That's weird. Mine are perfectly good, even for my way off standard frame I find most seats uncomfortable for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Actually, anything that provides ample leg room feels comfortable to me. I find it helps on a very long trip to periodically change the seat height and the angle of the back. No one place is perfect for me, but the change always feels good.

cosmicray Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Speaking of changing the front seats. I have seen pictures, of UK/European Transit Connect models, where the passenger seat (left side) folded down flat. This was in conjunction with a wire-mesh cage that partitioned the cargo area from the front. The left most 30-40% of the partition was hinged, and would swing forward, so that it stopped just to the left of the gear shift. This allows long cargo items to extend all the way from the rear doors to the dash. I wonder if that seat (the UK version) is interchangeable with the right side passenger seat on the US model. operating engineer O/O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I have been wanting to change the driver's seat in my 2010 TC. I have some spare MKI Focus seats sitting around and thought I could use them. The mounting point dimensions are close enough to work but there are other problems making it impossible to use them easily. The TC driver's seat has 3 connections to the SRS (restraint system), seatbelt receiver, side air bag, and a seat position sensor for the smart airbag. The seatbelt receiver could probably be switched over to another seat. The side airbag can be replaced with a simulator (some resistors). But the seat position sensor would be difficult to transfer in that it is used to measure how far the seat is from the steering wheel airbag to vary its force. All three of these sensors must be working or simulated for the rest of the SRS system (steering wheel and passenger airbag) to work. The only solution I can think of is to use a bottom mount aftermarket seat on the TC base. You would have to use a simulator to replace the side airbag but the seatbelt receiver and seat position sensor would still be original. operating engineer O/O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
