VW T25 Westfalia Joker Swivel Seats

Post by masvera8 »

Hello,

I have a question about the swivel seats in the Westfailia Joker, mine is a 1989 LHD pop-top Joker.

I have swivel seats fitted in both postions, however I cannot figure out how to get the drivers seat to swivel a full 180, with the sterring wheel and handbrake. It is hard enough getting it to go 90 degrees (I preusume this is as far as it is meant to go?).

Any tips welcome!

Thanks,

Mark

You cant swivel more than 90 degrees.

Put the hand brake down, then you have to open the door and shuffle the seat back n forth , it’s doable but not easily

Thanks for the replies.

I reckon I also need to take the swivel base assembly apart and lubricate as they are both quite akward to operate.
