Need advice: swapping del sol seats into my eg hatch.
I know I've just got to switch the rails between my stock seats and the delsols but is there a guide on how to go about this?
It seems that on one side of the seat, the whole bracket assembly should be swapped but on the side with the reclining mechanism only the very bottom part should come off.
Any help is appreciated!

Why would you swap brackets?
I've got two buddies that swapped Del Sol seats in their hatches and if I'm not mistaken neither of them swapped rails.
They *should* bolt right in.
Test fit them first before you begin to unbolt those rails!

When I put mine in, all the holes didn't line up correctly, so I swapped the rails. It's very easy, took about 20minutes to do both seats.

Yea, it seems like it would be easy. Did you understand what I meant in the original post about each side of the rail being different? Does just that bottom piece gets swapped? Or do I disconnect each bracket from the seat back and bottom?
Is it possible to disconnect the hinge bolt and effect the swap in that way?

Nuts. Are you sure? This means partially removing the upholstery on my stock seats. I hate hog rings.

I have del sol seats in my EH. There is no way you are getting them in you car with the del sol rails/sliders unless you only use 2 holes, or you drill into the car. As for undoing uspholstery, like the other guy said, definitely not needed to do. There is 2 bolts on one side, 3 on the other.
