Retrofitting and Body Modifications -> 4.6 Retrofitting / replacement of standard seats for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Fifth Generation (2003-2015)

1) In the passenger compartment of the station wagon  
All station wagons are prepared in such a way that their standard seat combinations can be easily retrofitted. Caravel,  
Multivan and California are constructed on basis of the station wagon car-body so that also in these cases the station  
wagon/Caravel standard seat combinations can be retrofitted according to the series requirements, provided that the  
necessary open space is available.  
Note:  
a) As standard floor covering, rubber floor covering (station wagon) or carpeted floor (Caravel) is used.  
b) If a multi-layer adhesive bond wood-plate with an anti-slip covering or a carpet (total thickness: max. 12 mm) is to  
be flatly bonded or screwed onto the passenger compartment floor (standard for the Multivan and California), it is  
possible to raise the single and the double seats appropriately with long mushroom-head screws and fitting distance  
bushes. (The previously mentioned floor coverings must not be connected to the floor mounting points of the seats!).  
The triple seat variants must not be raised. In this case, it is required to cut out the seat mounting area appropriately.  
Procedure with illustration, part numbers, etc. available on request.  
2) In the driver s cab  
The standard driver‚s and passenger seats (each on a "seat box") can be replaced by the swivel seats (special  
equipment) if no dividers are available. Optionally, also a double seat for co-driver can be used, however, not in  
combination with the high divider at the left-hand and right-hand side (with connecting passage to boot space). The  
vehicle floor of the driver™s cab is prepared in such a way, that every vehicle can be converted to the corresponding  
other seat variants of the driver™s cab.
