Swivel seats in 2010 Via 25T?

[lovecozumel]

We do not have swivel seats in our VIA. Where they an option? We would like to add the swivel part to the driver and passenger seat. Has anyone added this to their VIA? Is there a lift option for when they face the back so you can also use the table? Thanks

My 2011 has them from the factory, electric lift and manual rotation. The seats are Flexsteel. They do make a big difference in useable space and comfort although setting them up is somewhat of a pain and if we're only staying overnight we just do the passenger side. The driver's side is a bit harder as you have to maneuver it past the steering wheel.

There is also an audible alarm in the drivers seat base that sounds if you don't get them latched down securely which can be a pain.

If I didn't have them and wanted to retro fit them I'd probably look at some of the after market offerings, some folks have done it over on the Sprinterforum. If you can't get a lift option what about a lower table? (Actually though without a lift I'm not sure they'd clear the raised floor behind them)

Below is a pic of ours. (I made different tables than the factory one)

BTW the lift is not something that just bolts onto the factory seat pedestal. It also has a heavy piece of plate steel coming off the back that curves down and then flattens out on the floor behind the seat and has 2 very large (5/8"?) bolts that bolt thru the floor into some threaded steel, not sure if the threaded steel is just some plates under the floor or part of the Sprinter frame. This is obviously to keep the seat from breaking loose in a collision.
