My 2006 JCW Convertible has cloth seats. While they are comfortable they do not have the look the JCW deserves and they also stain with the slightest moisture. I have been looking for a set of Mini leather seats to replace them with. I found a set from a 2007 Convertible (non JCW) both front and rear and am wondering if they are a direct swap. I will hit the dealer up with the question next week, but I figured someone on the forum has done this before and will know.

Thanks!!!

Adam hi!

I just talked to my Mini mechanic here in Florida and he said Gen I cars need to stick with Gen I seats if you want them to work properly. Gen II have different tracks and different electrical plugs.

I have the sport seats and have been searching for someone to trade for a less 'sporty' seat for my Gen I convertible. If you find someone, please let me know.

Good luck!

The 06' and 07' convertible are both Gen I. So I don't see why the OP wouldn't be able to do a direct swap.

 

Sorry, you are correct---it should work fine. I was thinking convertible Gen I versus Coupe Gen II--which is what I have been searching for.
