Direct fit subframes for the Volkswagen Jetta Mk1 and Mk2, picking up the standard seat mounting points, with nothing drilled.
One frame, two generations
The Mk1 and Mk2 Jetta share their floor mounting arrangement, so a single frame covers both. That is why this listing names two cars rather than one, and it is not a compromise or an adaptation: it is the same frame either way.
If you own either and have been told the frame is generation specific, it is not. Tell us the year and we will confirm it against your car before it ships.
On a car of this age
Take a look at the metal around the mounting points while the old seat is out. It is the least visible part of the floor and the easiest time you will ever have to inspect it.
What is in the box
Base frame and sliding runner in the price, where the other makers sell the runner separately.
Which seats fit
Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats with a 291mm or 405mm wide handle. Not a side mounted seat without adaption bars or side mounts.
Tell us the seat at checkout. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Volkswagen Jetta Mk1 and 2. 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?
Cobra design each tailored frame around a particular seat, so check the Compatible seats tab above for the designed pairing. Other seats with a matching bolt pattern can work as cross-compatible components rather than a designed set, so ask us before mixing brands.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Yes, and unlike most brands the sliding runner comes included with a Cobra frame, in the price. That changes the like-for-like comparison against other makers, where the runner is a separate part on top. Our guide to sliding runners covers how they work.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
