CDN Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 My lumina is in need of a driver seat replacement, had a nice big tear in it when I got her and the foam is pretty shot as well. From what I have been reading, it is possible to use a passenger seat in place of the driver's seat. My first question is in a 99 Lumina, is it a simple matter of unbolt old driver's seat and drop in a passenger's seat? If not, do I have to swap the hardware under the seats or something? I know this has been asked before but I just want to make sure that I'm reading things right. If it's as simple as it sounds, not counting a stubborn nut or something, might be a easy enough project to take care of when I have some downtime.

94 olds vert Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The best way to do it would be to take the seat cover and foam from the passenger side and put it on the driver side. I am not sure if the seats swap from pass to driver. Could be a big hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 You'll have to swap the hardware, the floorpan isn't a symmetrical thing. Not too big a deal to swap, though, I've got a 6-way power seat in the passenger's side of my Cutlass, something Oldsmobile never offered. Swapping my seat onto the Regal donor hardware wasn't all that hard, it should be similar on your Lumina.

I wouldn't mind have a pair of bucket seats over the half bench thing that is in there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
