These guys http://www.wedgeengineering.net/ make the mount to sit the seat at the propper height for your car. Unlike your current seats, these mounts do not slide in the Corrado tracks. Instead you clamp it in place in your tracks at about the correct location. On top of the mount bolts a Recaro slider. The seat slides back and forth on it. Minor height adjustment is possible but it is fixed by the mounting bolts. If you can't find a set of sliders, I can sell you a pair for $75 which is about half price. Good luck, George 510 375 2071 or [email protected]

Hello from the USA. I speak American English rather than the "British English" that was my only choice of language. I hope that you can understand me. The seats should disassemble in the same manner as MKII. Remove the base by removing six allen-head capscrews. Cut any zip-ties needed. Remove the plastic hinge covers by pushing the three plastic pins through and gently pulling the covers free. Remove the flat hinge clips on each side. Fold the seatback forward, spread the part that has holes for the hinge pins and remove the seat back from the seat cushion section. Set it aside and take care of the wiring for the seat back adjustment motors. Outer edge of bolster cover is held by a wire running in a seam in the bolster cover and hooked 4-5 places on tabs punched in the seat frame bottom. You will have to remove the plasic cylinder piece which is the catch for the seatback locking hook. This is held in place by a phillips-head machine screw. For some reason, VW uses permanent(blue) locktight on the threads. I think the screw requires a #3 phillips. Because of the locktight, you can easily strip the head of the screw if you try to do it by hand. My 18V battery DeWalt drill with the hammer drill setting removes them easily. The loose edges of the cover are contact cemented to the frame at both ends. You can loosen them by hand easily. You may now be able to work the cover off of the foam. The foam is lightly contact cemented to the frame. There is a more involved but easier method of foam replacement. The center seating section is held to the frame by plastic channels which are sewn to the upholstery and hooked to a long tab on the frame at the front and rear. They are also hog-ringed to the frame halfway down each side. Cut the hogrings(you'll need hog rings and hog ring pliers to replace them) and work the plastic channel off of the frame. You'll then be able to lift the center section, exposing the same style wire on tab attachment of the inner side of the bolster cover. This method allows much easier removal/replacement of the cover especially if it is leather rather than fabric. Good luck and please post that alternate foam source as Capital no longer has MKII specific foams. They now sell Escort ones which must be modified.
