MK7.5 Estate-Hatchback (5door) Are the rear seats the same?

Hi 

 

I was transporting our new cats (rescue)  home a few nights ago and the cat box wasn’t watertight. Unfortunately they were a little stressed and had an accident :-( Having tried everything I can’t get rid of the smell and devastated as the rear seat hasn’t been used since new. me thinks it will be a new seat base. I have found one for sale on ebay but this is for the hatchback, although this looks identical. 

 

Anybody know if there is a difference

 

Thanks in advance

Hi sorry to hear about your misfortune.  I feel your pain. Although I dont have rescue cats, I do have two messy, young boys, and when I took out the lease on our R estate back in 2017 I was so paranoid about the lease company penalizing me for every dent, scuff, and mark. So I swapped out the rear seats, both the seat base and backrest, for some from a GTD hatchback that I found on flea bay and they fit perfectly. These are used as sacrificial seats and the original ones are in storage and in perfect condition, ready to be put back in the car when the boys have grown up and learnt to be less messy! 

 

I'm sure some bases from an R hatchback will fit just fine.

Thank you, Stephen, very much appreciate your answer, will order the seat base on Monday and the cats now have their own hard shell cat boxes now so no more accidents 🙂
