Es300 Passenger And Driver Seat Back Interchangeable?

[kpierce]

Hello -

I have a 2000 Lexus ES300 and the leather drivers seat (back part, not seat bottom) is starting to really show wear.

Is there a way I can take the seat back (enter set back, not really wanting to remove the cover) from the Driver Side and exchange it with the Passenger side?

The bottom of the seats are fine so I don't want to get involved in changning out the seat bottoms unless that is required.

Your help and support is greatly appreciated in advance.

thanks

I think it could be done. I removed both driver and passenger seats once to do a steam clean of all interior carpets. The chairs themselves, there's not that much to em. I bet you could figure out a swap of both 'backs.' And good you're not interested in the seat bottoms, there's too many motors and wiring you'd have to mess with.

The seat backs have side airbags, they would not work. The driver's seat has a lumbar support that is not present in the passenger seat. Cannot be done.
