That looks like classic mousefur material the Japanese were known for using in the 80s.

Isn't there any kind of identifiable marking or part number on the underside that you could Google?

Looks like early 80's Scirocco, or Golf/Rabbit seats to me. Do you have a pic of the recline knob or handle? That could seal the deal on the make.

I was way off, yes those handles look like they could be a Japanese market seat.

They look like the late 80s Mazda 323 seats I used to have in my bug years ago..I believe they were 19 inches or so across...I've seen mazda seats in alot of cars because for some reason the cloth holds up on them...

Aww, Here I thought you knew the answer. Damn!

GTMike · Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2007 1:23 pm Post subject:

I'll have to disagree with the RX7 seats. Its missing the stitching down the center, and the black on his seats tapers toward the back the higher it goes.

hum...

Gomer_Pyle
what years rx-7's had those seats ? also do you have any other pictures of the ones in your rx-7 ?

no, on the seats in question, look at the sides, and the wave the bolster forms. So far they haven't been identified.
