Default Buying Corolla Seat with Handle is the Easy Part

I want that height adjuster in the Prius seat. Jelloslug and another guy did it, I want it too!

The height adjuster is about 1/4 circle, so you pick up some legroom as well as seat down a couple inches.

$125 from local junk yard. Got lucky, this one's in very good shape far as I can tell. Not much rust and mechanically great. The 07 Corolla it came out of .... OMG!

Good luck with the retrofit. You can find instructions on how I did it (back in August of 2005, time does fly!) at:

This would be a very difficulut do-it-yourself modification.

I started working on the Corolla seat but soon realized the job is above my skills and time available.

I see another option to have the seat rails remounted on the existing brackets which I'll talk about in the mods section.
