A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Golf Mk5. Part number SB029-4887.
The same part number covers the Scirocco Mk3
Worth knowing if you are cross shopping: our Scirocco Mk3 listing carries this same SB029-4887 suffix. It is the same bracket. Volkswagen built the Mk3 Scirocco on the PQ35 platform alongside the Mk5 Golf with the same seat mounting, so one part covers both.
The wider SB029 family spans the Mk5, Mk6 and Mk7 Volkswagens, and the Mk6 Golf takes a different suffix again, SB029-4892, which is also the Seat Leon Mk3 part. Send us the registration and we will tell you which one you want.
What the Mk5 needs
The GTI is the car people build and it is quick enough that the standard seat is the limiting factor. Once a harness goes in, a seat that shifts under you undoes a good part of what the harness is doing.
Side airbags are fitted. Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the VW Golf MK5. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
