Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Selling both driver and passenger seats for $2000 shipped US domestic. I'll pay for the packaging to ensure that it's wrapped up nicely. Mint condition. No tears. Still got that new matte finish on both seats. Power controls. Not heated. No crest. Best, Ben

POST 2Original post

sale fell thru, locals in seattle/portland/vancouver there is no shipping charge of course

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Are these seats drop-in replacements on Boxsters?

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 4716383

If they fit a 996 they will fit in a 986.

POST 8Original post

If they are not making a like-for-like replacement (ie, existing full power to your full power) they will need to cut into the wiring harness and make new connections. I haven't seen any good DIY's for this and it's not a 15 minute piece of work. So 'yes' they will physically bolt in but if they're replacing the base model seats they'll have some work to do to get the controls functioning.

POST 9Original post

Ben..I dont recall seeing pics of your car. Mind posting some?? GL with the sale

POST 11Original post

Did you install the clutch and brake pedals reversed? Isn't the tapered side supposed to match-up with the angle on the gas pedal?

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 4738641

Yes, the tapered side of the clutch pedal should be on the left side and the tapered side of the brake pedal should be on the right side. The taper is to help eliminate your shoe from catching on the pedal when moving it from the footrest or the gas pedal to the clutch and brake pedals, respectively.
