The guy I bought my bug from gave me two DRIVERS seats!!!??
I noticed the other day the small knobs you use to flip the seat forward is on the same side (left side) so I would assume they are both drivers...?
I tried to put it on the passenger side seat tracks and it doesn't fit properly.
I guess I need a whole new seat?
Silly question I know but figured I would ask!

Trade or buy what you need and sell off your spare driver seat.

On some chairs you can flip side for the level arrangement. Haven't done that myself, think it is a pin you need to remove to get it apart.

Yeah it looks like I have the right/left side seat BACKS correct because the pull up handles are correct but the bottoms are backwards!?
The drivers side has the handle you pull up for adjustment (seat sliders) and the passenger has no adjustment?
Also, there are "thumb levers/flip switches so you can lean the seat backs forwards but they are on the INSIDE of the seat frames!?
Maybe just the bottoms are swapped.. I'll swap them and see.
