Another seat thread
I have a 2017 cargo van with the upgraded seats but of course they are still lousy, as far as i can tell the back moves forward/back and the whole seat moves toward the steering wheel or back no other adjustments but pretty sure the seats do have airbags in them so my question is , did any of the passenger vans come with nice seats i can swap out that have airbags that my wiring harness will plug into? i am guessing all these custom conversion seats do not have airbags??? thanks for any help |
my 2013 savana passenger has a 6 way adjustable power seat....

From what I know, there are only two main options with sub options for each main option. Doesn't matter if you have a passenger or cargo. It's all the same.
Vinyl or Cloth - that's it. Manual or Power. Colour. Personally, I do not find the seat to be bad at all. Even the manager who sold me the truck was suprised (Cadillac Dealer). I think the problem people complain about is age. From what I read, the foam begins loosing it's properties and the seats slowly get uncomfortable. The good news is, parts are widely available. You can buy brand new foam rather easily. |
Canucklehead does yours have airbags in the sides of the seat? dberladyn my van has been on the road about 7 months from new and has 8000 miles i am sure the seat is not worn out it is causing me major hip pain i drive 50,000 miles a year for work, have owned numerous cars the past 15 years and never had this problem, so it is definitely the seat got a wedge pad and that has helped some but will do searches for stock 6 way power seat for a 2017 chevy van, that sounds like what i need |
I am approaching 50,000 Km. My seat has never bothered me. That armrest on the door though...
|
I lifted the front of the seats with about 3/4" of washers. Made a big difference.
|
This wedge pad is Lifting the seat a good bit and is not making a difference, I think it is the shape of the seat I haven’t noticed any problems with armrests LOL canucklehead could you post a few pictures of your six way seat please |
You have a 2017. They redesigned the armrest on the door panel, that's why.
Yes Canucklehead, please post pics of the powerseat. As many as you can. |

My seat is basically same as this one. The power control is between you legs while sitting. Single arm rest, and I don't think it has airbags inside the seat. They are in the roof rail. The wire connector with the red clip on it is the airbag weight sensor I think. And ditto on that piece of crap arm rest. It squeaks, and digs into your elbow relentlessly. Another option to changing your seat to a power one, is to pay have have your seat re-foamed. I bought a used 92 ford explorer a while back, and the seller had this done prior. the difference in firmness, comfort and support between the re-foamed driver seat and the factory passenger seat was massive. My cruze that I bought has padded arm rests right where it needs to have it...What a difference. |
We (at least I) wanted to see the mechanism and any possible mechanical/physical differences. I imagine the base is the same. I am imagining the seat cushion and fabric is the same with the exception of some slits for wires. It is just the slide mechanism I think that that changes. Manual / Power.
That picture you posted is of a newer model van. It has the newer style arm rests on the doors. |
