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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found a good set of 987 seats and want to put them in my 986. Has anyone done this? The 987 seats seem to sit lower and are thinner, so I'll gain some head and leg room. I'm sure the connectors won't plug right in, but I could splice the power in. What do you guys think?

POST 2Original post

POST 3Original post

POST 4Original post

Silver, I want to do this too, the 987 seats are much better for folks with back and hip issues like mine. They are very hard to come by though. What I really want is the 987 sport seats, my friend has them in his cayman R and they are awesome. I've posted the same question and been told they fit great. I was going to put Recaro CS seats in and found out at the last minute from a forum member the back adjuster knob won't fit.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
