Title: Does a complete interior for into a 3 dr golf?
Post by: white91 on July 13, 2016, 03:37:38 pm

Bit of a strange one, I've bought a complete interior (seats, door cards and armrest) I've got to collect it, will it fit in the golf with all the original interior still in place?

Might remove the rear seat base to get the seats folded flat?

It should do the 3 door seat fold and move forward to make way for someone to sit behind

Is it for your car that you're collecting it in?

Why don't you strip your interior (minus driver seat) before collecting it?

It's my car but I'm using it for work tomorrow and don't have anywhere to store my interior either

You'll be fine as I did it with my TT seats in the tt and that's crammed.

Back seats down ftint seat forward and all the new interior front seats rolled put flat will all fit in but just heavy.

Without door cards it fits with spare room. My advice (having done exactly this several times) as put the rear single seat back and headrests in the front foot well to free up some extra room out back. If you can remove the rear bench at least before collecting that'll help a lot as then you can stake the new interior rear seats where your current ones should be which effectively means you only have to load up front seats and door cards.

I actually have an interior loaded up into my 6R at the moment, can grab you a photo of how I load it so it fits safely.

Nice advice there, collecting it tomorrow morning
