The driver-side seat in my 3-door 206 is broken (back can’t be adjusted) so I’m considering replacing it. Found one on eBay that is the right colour and, crucially, from a 3-door model. The only problem being that it’s from the passenger side.
Does that matter? Is there any difference between the driver and passenger side seats? They look the same in my car and I can’t see why they wouldn’t be interchangeable.
Thoughts?

Not all 206s have side airbags on the seats.
One thing. Some passenger seats don't have height adjustment fitted, if it does then the handle will be on wrong side.

There are no airbags in my seats. Don’t believe there are any in the one I’m looking at on eBay either (certainly isn’t listed as having them). My current driver’s seat doesn’t have height adjustment, so if the replacement does it would be a bonus!
Just another thought - has anyone ever tried repairing a seat with broken back adjustment on a 206? Is it likely to be feasible?

Replacement 206 seats are so cheap, if you have a matching replacement cheap then just swop it out.
I've had 206 seats apart in past - more hassle then it's worth.

Also wouldn’t the seat belt be on the wrong side?

Good point.
Decided to wait for a driver’s side seat to come up instead.
Thanks for the input everyone

Good things come to those who wait, and all that.
Just got a Driver’s-side seat. Right upholstery and everything.
