'96 front seats swappable?
Is it possible to switch the driver and passenger seats?
I know there will be a seatbelt mod, what else?

If there is an airbag sensor in the passenger seat, it won't work.

I don't think the 96 has the airbag sensor. That came around in 98. The seat covers look the same so if you are just fixing a ripped seat, just swap the leather.

Why you want to switch it?

Lemme guess
The seat heater isn't working on the driver side, but is on the passengers?

Hi E-Klasse

How do you pull out the seat covers? I want to swap them too as the driver side is showing its age. Would there be a problem on a 98-E320?

Thanks,
JeffreyP

Take the seat out and flip it over. You can see the bottom how it is held on. It kind of tucks in to the seat frame.
