Default Passanger seat vs drivers seat

Anyone noticed more differences on the seats than point the seatbelt is fastened and side for the el. adj. buttons?

One is in the left and the other one is on the right.

The tilt handles are opposite...

Passenger seats on LHD cars are the same as driver seats on RHD cars... weird...

My all electric seats ('90 C4 Cab) have tilt levers on both sides. With electric models, you can't interchange left and right sides. Doing so, would put the electric switches on the inside where you can't reach them.

Can't the uppers alone be switched?

I thought I saw a tread on this a while back (maybe on Pelican?)? My driver's seat is still in pretty good condition, but the rarely used passenger seat looks perfect. What's more important to me is that the passenger seat bolsters feel more taut.

It looks like a very simple switch, but I worry that I would screw up the seat tilt release cable and never get it to correctly secure again...

Good luck with the seatbelts also.

I swapped my backs over - works fine, evens out the wear.
