Ok, I have a VY SS series 2 Ute and would like to change the seats. The leather on the drivers seat is starting to crack a little.

Will VE seats fit into a VY Ute? Will the rail system from the VY SS seat bolt to the VE seat?

I'm pretty sure I spotted a post around here somewhere with that exact issue, although from memory you had to change the rails. Lemme see if I can find it for my fellow darwinite :p

The answer appears to be no. Took a bit to find, and had to jump on HSV forum (knew I'd seen it somewhere) - rails are different. I'm not sure of anyone in Darwin that can do the modification to fit the VT-VZ rails onto the seats either sorry. I would try Katherine Holden, seriously, as they know what their talking about as opposed to our other Holden dealer. You know what I'm talking about :p

Sure thing. I wasn't sure if it could be done. The VE Ute seats have a cool latch that flips the seat forward without having to readjust the back rest, would make it so much easier to put stuff behind the seat.

I have to replace (or re cover) my leather seats as the drivers seat is starting to crack. Not cheap, $3000 trade price from Holden (for both seats complete) or $1000 re done in cloth or $1800 for leather. SS cloth seats only come with flicks of colour on them, not a pure black cover which is what I want.

Cheers

The rails can be replaced but they are not a direct 'in-out' ... a timely procedure which probably isnt worth the worry.. Dont have Holden re-trim them though... at $3000 you might as well sell yours on Ebay as damaged and buy yourself some brand newies!

Good idea there but finding some in Darwin might be a little tricky. Will have a scout out for some. Had a quote today to have my seats redone and wasn't as bad as I thought compared to other ideas
