One of the superb features of a T5 & T6 van is the double front seat. However the current options to swivel the VW double seats do not make maximum use of the limited space available.
Driven by the fact there wasn't a seat base available that made the maximum use of the space under the passengers seat, we designed the Swerve Double Seat Base.
We designed the Swerve Double Seat Base to make use of the OEM seat upholstery whilst providing more functionality from the large space available under the double seat.
Features
Seat is set further back in both conditions (swiveled and forward); more leg room whilst driving (creation less intrusion from footwell) and further living space when rotated.
The seat base remains at exactly the same angle as the base when facing forward; so is comfy to sit on when swiveled!
FEA Analysis completed to ensure the base strength at a variety of conditions. This has been completed to UN ECE R14 "M1" crash test loadings.
The swivel mechanism features a membrane, this allows the swivel motion to take place with minimal effort.
The seat base is UK Design registered under Design Protect 6196757.
Boring Stuff
Original VW nuts to bolt the base to the van shall be used. As shall the bolts and fixings used to retain the seat belt.
Fits all T5, T5.1, T6 & T6.1 models.
The passenger door shall have to be opened to gain the full range of movement for the seat cushion to pass by the van door pillar.
The seat base will not be supplied with upholstery, standard VW uphoulstry shall be fitted to the base by the owner.
