Recaro Trendline Fitting

Darren61 · Dec 11, 2016

Hi guys,

I'm fitting some Trendlines from an R26 into my 175 DCI. It's a 5 door and I am trying to work out how I need to mount the seatbelt as one of the mounting points is currently in the seat I'm removing and won't be there once the Recaro is in its place (see pics). If anyone can advise I'd really appreciate it?

Can't be done I'm afraid. Been tried numerous times and it's all down to the seat belts. @Gavin.

If you're fitting Recaro Trendline seats from a Megane you can use the pre tensioner bracket that is on the Megane adaptors.

I'm pretty sure the pre tensioners are the same in both cars.

Put some pics up of your Recaros if you're not sure.

I assume behind the door trim there will be a threaded hole for a lower seat belt bar / runner?

Thanks for the replies all!

The seats are standard Alcantara/Leather seats from a 3 door R26. I'm going to have a look and see if there is a pre-made hole for the runner bar for the seat belt like in the 3 door model. Failing that I suppose I'll have to sell them on..

Here's so pics of the seats if it helps -
