Is it possible?. The sport seats I have just bought the runners are a bit rusty and one of the feet where the rear bolt goes though is bent. In fact most of the feet are bent and stopping the seat going back

I thought I might be able to swap the runners from my comforts onto the sport seats.

Any ideas?

Things have kind of ground to a halt. The passenger seat is in but needs to come out as I need to either find out how to change the runners over or bend the feet so the seat can run properly.

Currently given up and on the sauce so my lounge looke like this

If you think of it as art I believe its quite an achievement.

Thinking of using the comfort seats as chairs in the lounge as my sofa is dead RIP :mad:

For an article on dismantling the seats you could have a look at http://www.totalbmwmag.com/HandsOn/TechDec01.PDF. I used this as a reference when changing the drivers and passengers seat cushions over, because the passenger side was in better condition. 8O
