Not sure what you're asking. You take the seat out ( 4 bolts), unbolt the old runners ( 4 bolts) put the new runners on and then reinstall the seat. Make sure the runners you have found come with the slide/catch

The runners fit on the seat frame base and the whole lot goes back into the car. You'll see once you've gotten into it. Have a closer look at the exploded view of the seat i posted above.

Beware though that the link you provided may not include the all important slide/catch that you're really after, it may be just the runners. Check first

TIP
when bolting the seat back in then don't go mad and over tighten the seat to car securing bolts. The seat isn't going anywhere with 4 bolts to hold it in. They are held in with captive nuts in the body that corrode and weaken with age so if you overtighten then they break away and that is a real pain

Thanks for that, yes i was going to ask the seller what was included etc.

Im considering just getting either the dealership to do it or get an indie garage to replace whats needed as just worried if i did it myself id end up making a hash of it or if there's anything missing whereas if i got a garage to do it i wont have that hassle.

Sorry its a late reply, had a choice of taking it to the dealer, a mechanic ive used before or getting a part from a scrappie. Went to a scrappie with a friend to see how much the part would be or even if i could even get 1 and managed to get 1 plus all the bolts and some other bits the friend wanted for a measly sum of £5. Only issue is the part was from a 5 door as opposed to a 3 door but it means the seat locks into place.

Yes thats a good point, might even sell it before then.

My friend is going to keep an eye out for a 3 door 206 so hopefully i can get 1 before next year. Is that on the MOT is it ?

The seat moves back and forth like it should do, you just cant move the seat forward like you could do to let someone in the back.

As this flimsy part isn't available anywhere, I quickly drew a new one and 3D-printed one that I needed. It works, but the PLA probably isn't as strong as the original aluminium.

Here are the design files:
206-seat-slider-t-section

You could also give the STL file to a CNC shop and have them make it for you.

 


I hope it helps.
