One Recaro direct fit sub-frame for the Volkswagen Transporter T5, 297.5; a passenger seat needs a second one.
Fitment
The 2003 to 2015 T5, van and Caravelle. Recaro’s frame bolts to the van’s own mounting points and puts a sport seat where the factory seat sat. If the conversion wants the seats to swivel, that is a separate base under the frame; tell us and we will list it.
The car side of the fitting
Vehicle-specific, so it fixes to the seat mounting points this car left the factory with, and sits a Recaro seat at the height Recaro intended.
How a Recaro mounts
The seat itself fixes through its sides, to Recaro side mounts, and this frame is what the mounts bolt to. Recaro’s statement is that the seat and its side mounts are homologated as a complete system. Order the mounts alongside the frame.
Send us the registration and the seat model and we will put the frame, the side mounts and any runners together for you.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, 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 Recaro 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.
