A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Jetta Mk2. Part number SB028-4874.
Within the SB028 family, alongside the Golf Mk2. The two cars share a floorpan, which is why one design covers both.
The Jetta sold where the Golf did not
In North America the Mk2 Jetta substantially outsold the hatchback and got specifications the Golf never had. In Europe it was the other way round, which is why Jettas are the rarer of the two here.
If your car is a North American import, send us the chassis number rather than the registration.
Why Mk2s are worth building
Simple, light, well built for the period, and with an enormous aftermarket behind them. The 16v cars are the ones with the following and values have moved a long way after decades of being cheap.
Practical
Mk2s rust round the floors and the seams. Get the carpet up and look properly.
If the car has Recaro seats, they are worth money on their own. Store them and label the fixings.
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 Jetta MK2. 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.
