Xantia Drivers Seat

Post by paulstow »

The cloth on the "wing" of my Xantia drivers seat is wearing through and I was wondering if anyone had looked at swapping either the material, the seat back or the whole seat with the passenger side. Obviously some work will be needed for left hand/right hand etc but has anyone tried this or got any other ideas?

The cloth on all of the seats in my '97 Xantia is showing wear after 73k miles. Its the same in my Dad's Lancia, Alcantara cloth doesn't appear to be very hard wearing. The seats in my '95 Xantia don't show any wear whatsoever after 152k miles.
The driver and passenger sear aren't identical in my car, the drivers seat has lumber support adjustment and the recline adjust knob is in a different place too, so you probably can't just do a simple skin transplant.

A seat skin transplant is possible, Its a right sod to do, better done with the seat out of the car, It just a case of getting the right material.
You might if your really really really lucky find that the material part is stocked by Citroen.
Ive done a Peugeot one before & its not a 5 minute job to do, Good luck.
