  View original topic: Are beetle slider front seats the same as Ghia

I have a 66 beetle and need front seats with the slider. Some near me has seats out of a Ghia with the sliders. Will these work?

NO
Ghia seats are wider. So are the tracks on the floor.

Can you tell by this pic if they are Ghia seats

those look like ghia seats (or maybe bus???). See how the seat bottom is laying flush on the shelf? Ghia seats sit lower than beetle seats. A beetle seat would have an extra piece of tubing that raises the seat.

Agree ^..


These below are Ghia..
Adjuster lock is part of the seat frame... NO tube riser like a Beetle.
